One nice spot is the '5 mile'........east of Narrandera on the old Wagga road. It's a quaint little spot, but is next to a dirt road that has maybe 1 car a night go past. In summer there are a lot of speed boats and skiiers there. We stayed there just recently for an over-nighter. There are pit dunnys too.
Otherwise, just west of Narrandera on the
Hay road, you can turn into there and find a spot, no worries. A bit further west is the Gogelderie Weir (spell
check), which I believe was built in the 1960's to take water off for the Coleambally Irrig Area (but don't quote me on any of that info......I left '
home' (Narrandera) when I was 15, after joining the NAB in 1970.
If the 'bidgee is really low, you can still see a couple of remnants of a paddle steamer not far from the old railway
bridge (Narrandera to Tocumwal line, now disused). That paddle steamer belonged to one of my ancestors in the late 1800's.
