Wentworth

Wentworth lies at the confluence of the Darling and Murray rivers. The Darling flows over thousands of miles of limestone-enriched flats, which causes its water to become milky grey. The Murray flows through red clay so its water is a richer brown colour. From the town's observation tower you can watch the distinctive waters of these mighty rivers meet.
 
History
Wentworth was once the busiest inland port in NSW and, at the time of Federation, one of the locations considered for the Australian capital.
 
Its location made Wentworth an important port in the paddle steamer era. The town has retained many historic buildings, many of which are plotted on a self-drive or walk map that is available from the Wentworth Shire Visitor Information Centre. The Old Wentworth Gaol, built in 1881, was the first to be designed in this country and now home to a number of historic artifacts. 
 
Surprising landscapes
Just out of Wentworth is the magnificent and surprising Perry Sandhills – 400 acres of rolling red sandhills that are more than 40,000 years old. Popular events such as concerts under the stars are held here.
 
Wander around the expansive Australian Inland Botanic Gardens, the first semi-arid botanic garden in the Southern Hemisphere, to view a wide array of plants and flowers.
 
Join a tour led by an Aboriginal guide and learn about the fascinating and ancient environments and Aboriginal heritage of Mungo National Park.
 
Outdoor activities
Wentworth is a great place to enjoy a wide range of water sports on the river system, including paddling, fishing, or waterskiing. If you prefer terra firma, enjoy a round of golf on one of the town's two golf courses.
