Local Area
Goondiwindi is located on a major highway arterial route, right on the NSW/QLD border which is created by the Macintyre River system. This large country town is on a major highway link of North, South, East and West.
It is one of the most fertile & diverse agricultural regions in the country. Goondiwindi is located within easy drive of several National Parks, numerous river systems, and has some of the best inland native sport fishing available in the country.
Macintyre River
The Macintyre River, a perennial river that forms part of the Border Rivers group, is part of the Barwon catchment of the Murray-Darling basin, located in the Northern Tablelands and North West Slopes regions of New South Wales, and the Southern Downs region of Queensland, Australia.
Goodwindi Natural Heritage and Water Park
A section of the Serpentine Creek has been converted to form the Natural Heritage & Water Park. The development of the Park is a result of the closure of Boobera Lagoon, to power boats, on indigenous cultural grounds. The Lagoon had been a favourite spot for waterskiing for the local area and was the only suitable waterbody for the purpose.
Fishing in the Region
The Goondiwindi region is a fishing haven, with a wide variety of fishing for you to enjoy. From the clear, rocky upper reaches of the Dumaresq River to the muddy waters of the lower Macintyre River, creeks, lagoons and Coolmunda Dam, you will have plenty of options to weigh up.
