Covering 13,000km2, our Shire is the heart of the rich Namoi Valley in North West NSW.
Renowned for the production of some of the world’s highest quality wheat, cotton, fat lambs and beef and home to several research facilities, Narrabri Shire is truly an agricultural wonderland. All this is joined by a wealth of excellent tourist attractions sure to keep visitors entertained for days.
The Newell and Kamilaroi Highways run through Narrabri Shire, bringing people from all compass points. With easy access, major attractions, top rate facilities and accommodation, many conferences and high profile performers are drawn to the area.

One glimpse of a clear night sky will leave you with no doubts as to why this region is known as “Big Sky” country.
