And not just Griffith, but the whole region along the Kidman Way, helping travellers ‘backtrack to the outback’, with a promotional committee releasing the all-you-need-to know guide.
Made up of five councils, The Kidman Way Promotional Committee includes Murrumbidgee, Griffith, Carrathool, Cobar and Bourke.
One of the many grey nomads travelling through Griffith is Tony Stutz, who said the guide was the perfect example of great tourism.
“Me and my wife have done the Kidman Way before, and it’s a great drive with so many things to see and do,” Mr Stutz said.
“Having a guide like this really makes it easy to find all those things you may have missed, a handy pocket guide for those looking for their next adventure.”
According to committee member Paige Campbell, the Kidman Way is an important north south touring route providing travellers with a quiet, scenic, sealed road through the centre of New South Wales.
Chair of the Griffith City Council Tourism and Events Committee, Councillor Christine Stead was proud of the end result.
“The new book is an essential guide, providing details on not only where to stay and where to eat, but includes interesting historical facts about the towns and people along the way,” Cr Stead said.
“The drive market is incredibly important to Griffith and the other Councils involved. This new guide will assist in growing the awareness of the Kidman Way and sending more travellers up this route to explore the towns and villages along the Kidman Way.
“Everything you need to have a wonderful journey has been included.”
The Guide features a combined festivals page and Top 10 things to do while travelling the Kidman Way.
The many magnificent National Parks, including the rock art at Gundabooka, recognised as one of the best sites in Australia, and great spots for bird watching and wildflowers, are showcased in the new guidebook.
The guide also provides details about the top places to fish along the Murrumbidgee, Lachlan or Darling Rivers and information about the various industries keeping the region prosperous.
