New England town of Barraba, provides a picturesque bend of the Manilla River between the Horton Valley and the beautiful Nandewar Ranges. With its tree-lined streets, heritage buildings and old fashioned shop fronts, Barraba is a delightful gold rush town dating back to the mid-1800s.
The area is a haven for birdwatchers and rare birds alike, including the endangered Regent Honeyeater and 190 other bird species. Part of the Silo Art Trail, keep an eye out for the amazing 40m high Barraba Silo mural, The Water Diviner, on your way into town.
