EVENTS DALMORTON

Beer lovers and get-rich-quick enthusiasts rejoiced! Out in the thriving Gold Rush town of Dalmorton (out on the Old Glen Innes Road via Buccarumbi) were 13 Pubs awaiting your patronage. Update: This information is valid for the mid-to-late 1800's and it’s quite possible that none of these pubs are open for business. History, scenery and charm, however, are still going strong Dalmorton was once a thriving community of over 5000 people and 13 pubs during the gold rush era of the 1850s and 1860s. Today the war memorial and a road sign are all that remain of the township of Dalmorton. Explore the spectacular scenery around Dalmorton including the Boyd River nestled among high-forested slopes and the Historic Tunnel. The National Parks and Wildlife Service has opened a camping and picnic area near the Boyd River with picnic tables, toilets, fireplaces and an information shelter. A day out to Dalmorton will require a picnic basket, some camp chairs, a camera, and a sense of adventure. Campers need to bring their own water....

This ones worth the drive! You kind of step back in time along the winding Boyd River as it makes it way towards the east. Driving along the Old Glenn Innes Highway you can follow this river along its banks from Buccarumbi through to the turn off the Newton Boyd as you head up the range. Set up camp along its banks. Watch the water glisten in the sun as it flows swiftly over shallow rocky bottoms and through intermittent deep pools. Spot some of the area's wildlife including kangaroos, echidnas, wombats and lyrebirds.Keep an eye out for the golden, blue and red dragonflys too. Despite coming from the mountains six months of the year, the water was the perfect temperature for swimming making it a beautiful place to visit any time of the year....
