Visit Mendooran
Nestled along the Castlereagh River, Mendooran is fondly coined as the ‘Mural Town’ due to large murals throughout the township. 348 kilometres west of Sydney, this settlement is the oldest on the Castlereagh River and is something of a mecca for horse sports.

A part of the Warrumbungle Region, the area is one of unspoilt beauty and hidden treasures. This is the perfect spot for peaceful bushwalks and camping.

To find out more about the region, please visit the Warrumbungle Region website.
