The 100 page A4 guide features a colourful and descriptive introduction to Australia's first Heritage listed City, Broken Hill, as well as information on the Outback towns of Silverton, Lightning Ridge, Walgett, Bourke, Brewarrina, White Cliffs, Cameron Corner, Milparinka, Tibooburra, Wilcannia, Tilpa, Louth, Menindee, Cobar, Nyngan, Hay and Balranald.
Development of the guide was supported by the region's new industry body, Destination Far West, in conjunction with the region's Regional Tourism Organisation, Inland NSW.
Director of Inland NSW and founding member of the Destination Far West Steering Group Michael McCulkin said the guide was a collaborative effort across the region, and the team was extremely pleased with the outcome.
“Visitation is hugely important for the Outback region, bringing in over $140 million in economic expenditure per year to the Outback broadly,” explains McCulkin.
“The guide is an extremely useful tool that helps bring our region to life for our visitors and prospective travellers, and hopefully encourages them to see and do more while here. It's really to provide inspiration and ideas – we still need to remember each of us in the industry are ambassadors and have a role in sharing stories and ideas that helps them have the best experience while here.
“It's always a tough balance of what to include in a Visitor Information Guide – there's so much to talk about with a region as diverse as Outback NSW, but it's also essential to remember this is an introduction for our visitors. And in such a context, I think we've achieved a really great balance with the Guide.”
More than 50 local industry organisations supported the Guide as advertisers.
“We thank those who had the foresight to advertise in the Guide, and who have invested in the future of tourism in our region.”
