G'day
I was born and bred in good ol' Narrandera; still have family living there too.
Trevor is right about the area on the 'bidgee, just west of the
truck stop.
You could also have a gander at 2 other spots...........
One is what they call "6 mile".....Drive eastwards from town from the Memorial Gardens. That is called Victoria Avenue. Just keep driving; it'll take you out of town and you'll hit a gravel road (known locally as "The Old Wagga Road) just after you go over the top of a
hill. Keep going along and about 10 klm out there is a flat area on the banks of the Main Canal which is (usually) full of
water and easy to access. The local speed boat/skiers use it and you can
camp there too.
Other than that, there is an area known as the Town Common. This is down between the Main Canal and the River. Access is via a bridge near
the entrance to Lake
Talbot swimming pool......go over the bridge near
the pool entrance and turn left, go over a
grid and then it's a couple of klicks to the river.....several spots where you can access beaches on the river.
Just a word of cautionary advice though............... Since I left town in 1971, there has been a steady influx of "original Australians" (to be "PC") and they can be somewhat less than pleaseant at times. Be careful.....
Cheers
Roachie
