Take in the sights of the city

The city gets its name from the Aboriginal word “echidna” that means “cloud of dust”. It is located 126 metres above sea level, and a town is a great place to stroll. You can start from Cobb & Co and cross over to the caravan park. Enjoy fresh and pristine sites of dense foliage. The Leahy House built in 1885 and made of mud-brick will take you back in time and give you an insight into the history of the place. The Post Office is another heritage site along with the artesian bore of the town that lies just 2 km on the Noccundra Road. Facts state that when the water reached the surface level, and hot clean water was being sucked out, the pressure from the water was used to generate electricity. This innovation pioneered Australia’s first hydro-electricity scheme. The Noccundra Hotel is about 142 kilometres to the west of Thargomindah and has been listed by the National Trust. The Dig Tree is also another popular site with the word “Dig” carved as a testimony to the expedition of the explorers Burke & Will and the tireless effort of William Brahe who dug to hide the supplies.

Tip: Go canoeing around the pristine waters of Cobb & Co and spot the rare grey grass wren or Bourke’s parrot along the River Bulloo.
