Description of Taroom
Taroom has services that are open 7 days.
It is situated on the banks of the Dawson River.
A check with the local Police if attempting the Taroom-Roma road as it is a seasonal road that is impassable after rain. This road is being upgraded at the moment to at least a single laned sealed road. They classed the road as gravel, but in fact it is a black soil road with the odd rock placed to enable it to be classed as a gravel road :))
The Dawson river has a weir situated at Taroom to allow the town to obtain long term water self sufficiency. The
fishing there is reported at good.
