Brewarrina Caravan Park

We arrived at this small friendly caravan park after staying at Opal Caravan Park in Lightning Ridge. Calling before we turned up to see if they had a space for us. I had read that the sites were small.

Pulling into the park we were met by the caretaker who showed us to our site. We had a brief chat before he carried on and we set up.

Sites are set around a central grassed area which is watered daily and kept nice. Another large grassed area is in one of the corners, this would be great for tents and has a picnic bench. A couple more of those picnic benches are by the central grassed area.

Brewarrina Caravan Park is a small quiet park, with a few friendly workers staying. There is a huge swimming pool next door and you are only 2 minutes from the shops.

A Short Drive

As well as being a 2 minute drive from the shops, you will find the Fish Traps. Brewarrina has 40,000-year-old, Aboriginal Fish Traps that are heritage-listed.

heritage-listed Fish Traps

The fish traps are a network of rock weirs in the water, stretching for around half a kilometre along the riverbed. Built by ancient tribes, to catch fish as they swam upstream. These fish traps are interesting to see and are a short drive away from the camp. You can also do a tour and have a Dreamtime story told by Aboriginal elders.
