Narrabri
is a town of 7,000 people located on the mighty Namoi River 570 km
north-west
of Sydney. It is located on the Newell Highway which links Brisbane
with
the southern capitals.
Although we are a long way from the nearest beach, the climate here is better than the Gold Coast! It is quite dry mostly (except when we have floods), with long summers and very short and relatively mild winters. When the heat gets to you, the Mount Kaputar National Park is just an hour's drive away. Not only can you see up to a distance of 100 km all around, the temperature is 10 degrees C less than on the plains and the kangaroos are extremely friendly.

The main industries are wheat, cotton, sunflowers, and other mixed farming. There are research centres in Cotton and Wheat production as well as the Australia National Telescope, a radio telescope facility just out of town.
