ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Menindee, known for its citrus orchards, table grapes and vegetable cultivation, is surrounded by 20 freshwater lakes, fed by the Darling River (the Menindee lake system), that abound with wildlife and waterbirds living among back waters and drowned forests.  Located 113kms from the city of Broken Hill, it is a land of contrast with massive lakes against a dry landscape.  The famous Maiden’s Hotel (in Menindee) is well know as the resting place for Burke and Wills in 1860, during their expedition of the Darling River.
