The isolated Minindee Lakes Region thrives on occasional rains. It is mostly dry with a series of interconnected shallow lakes. The region is located on the Darling River, about 200 kilometres upstream of the junction of the Darling and Murray Rivers in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
The region is home to Minindee, the oldest European settlement in western NSW, to a huge variety of birds during wet periods, to comprehensive archaeological records of aboriginal culture, to the second-oldest active pub, and to the 1860s visit from explorers Burke and Wills.
CEO Linda Nadge and The Far West branch of the regional Development Australia are looking to build an eco-tourism destination of Minindee -- an alternative future for the town -- based on environmental tourism, outdoor activities and native cultural experiences, and to rejuvenate the region with its "Geography-is-no-Barrier" 10-year program. The project is called the Menindee Lakes Wetlands Project, reports ABC Rural Australia.
