I grew up in Narrandera, but haven't lived there since 1971. My brother is the local barber there even now.
There is a nice spot at (I think) 8 mile....east of Narrandera on the old Wagga road. It's on the edge of the water (the Main Canal) and a lot of ski boats use it as a camping a "marshalling" point.
West of town along the
Hay road, there are several spots along the town common not too far from town and along as far as Yanko Weir.
If you wanted to go even further west, there are lots of spots along the bidgee around 15klm east of
Hay.
Most direct route from
Sydney is down Sesame Street (aka Hume Hwy) and take the Wagga turn off onto the Sturt Hwy south of
Gundagai. Otherwise, you can turn off the Hume west of Yass and go out through Coota' to Wallenbeen. There you will need to decide to go via
Junee, Coolamon etc or continue west through Temora,
Ardlethan and Grong Grong. When I used to live in
Canberra as a 20-odd y/o, I used to be able to get from
Canberra to N'dera on my Kwaka 9 in about 2hr15min (only hit the high spots!!!).
