Why Narromine Is the Perfect Base for Exploring the Central West
Planning a trip through Central West NSW? While Dubbo might be the first place on your radar, Narromine offers a relaxed, well-located alternative that’s perfect for travellers who want space, quiet, and charm — without being far from the action.
Whether you're road tripping, flying in, or planning a family getaway, Narromine is the kind of town that feels easy to settle into — and easy to explore from.
A place to slow down, settle in, and explore
Just 30 minutes west of Dubbo, Narromine is the kind of place where you can truly slow down, explore at your own pace, and enjoy the charm of regional NSW.
We recommend flying into Dubbo and hiring a car — it’s the easiest way to make the most of your visit and explore the surrounding areas.
The town is nestled among working farms, orchards, and wide-open cropping country. This classic rural setting is known for its wide streets, welcoming locals, and laid-back lifestyle.
Spend a few hours browsing the local boutiques, relaxing at one of the many cafés or the bakery, or settling in at a country pub for a casual lunch or dinner.
It’s the kind of town that invites you to take your time — and rewards you when you do.
