Art, Culture & History

Autumn. The light softens. The air shifts. Mornings stretch a little longer. Suddenly, you notice things you might have rushed past before: the grain of timber, the warmth of coffee in your hands, the smell of eucalyptus in the air.

Short on time but still craving big skies and water views? This mini loop delivers.

Sometimes, the best way to get somewhere is to not rush at all. The Long Way Round is a scenic drive that winds gently through Narrandera, Barellan and Grong Grong.

In 1940 Narrandera took on an important role in preparation for World War II and was home to the No. 8 Elementary Flying Training School where men were trained to be pilots.
