Things to do around Trangie

Use Trangie as a base 

If you want to venture further a field but use Trangie as your base then a trip to the Rabbit Trap hotel for one of the best burgers in NSW is a must. It’s at Albert, a short drive of 40 km from Trangie. You can also travel the back road following the Macquarie River to Narromine.

We have 2 coffee shops.
If you are traveling though our area in the summer months and need a cool dip then the council swimming pool is open from 12 till 7 each day until the last weekend in March.

If you like Airplanes then you can spend time at the air field seeing crop dusters landing and look over them.

A bit further and Narromine has the famous Air Museum.

If you are a long time photographer or just a beginner then you will find our local night time tour a must.
See us at the park for suggestions of places to visit for those fantastic night shots - none are more than 15 minutes from the park and many are only a few minutes off the road.

To give you some ideas have a look at these pictures taken by locals around Trangie.

Our park itself has a large amount of feathered visitors each day or spend the day out at one of the local bird watching areas only 3km from the park.
If you are a bird watcher then you should visit the Goan water hole. Only a short walk from the park (approx. 15min) it is an old Aboriginal watering spot where many birds spend their day.
There are toilets and a playground for the kids.
Recently a small flock of swift parrots were spotted in Trangie. These are an endangered species and their visit was very exciting so keep your eyes open!

If you are staying for a few days why not take a trip out to the Gin Gin Weir. You can pick up a short history on the weir from the park. It is about 17km from the park on a good sealed road. You can fish on each side of the weir (which is reported to be good) or walk along the bank of the river.
The weir is on the Macquarie river and was used for irrigation up till the early 1900.
