Wentworth has been nominated for the Tiny Tourism Town Award as part of the 2025 NSW Top Tourism Town and Top Tour Guide Awards. This nomination highlights Wentworth's unique combination of natural beauty, rich history, and modern attractions, making it a standout destination in New South Wales.

The NSW Top Tourism Town and Top Tour Guide awards, organised by the NSW Tourism Association, celebrate the best towns and tour guides across the state. The awards program shines a spotlight on regional tourism, showcasing hidden gems from coast to country, outback, mountains, and river communities, along with the tour guides who bring these towns to life.

Wentworth is a town where two of Australia's greatest rivers meet, offering an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, rich history, and modern attractions. As the gateway to the outback, Wentworth invites visitors to explore its unique charm and vibrant culture.

Wentworth's key attractions include the Murray-Darling Junction, where visitors can witness the merging of Australia’s two greatest waterways, and the historic Wentworth Wharf, which echoes the town’s paddle steamer era. The Perry Sandhills, with their ochre-red dunes sculpted by wind over thousands of years, and Thegoa Lagoon, a haven for native birdlife, offer peaceful escapes. The Old Wentworth Gaol, one of Australia’s best-preserved colonial prisons, and the Wentworth Pioneer Museum, showcasing relics from the wool industry, paddle steamers, and early settler life, are also must-see sites.

An upcoming highlight is the Fibre Optic Symphony Orchestra (FOSO), a world-class art installation by Bruce Munro. Featuring 80 Hills Hoists adorned with fibre optic lights illuminated to an orchestral score, FOSO will transform the landscape between Thegoa Lagoon and Perry Sandhills. Wentworth Shire Mayor, Cr Daniel Linklater, expressed his excitement about the project, stating, "This is a transformative milestone for our region. The Fibre Optic Symphony Orchestra will not only attract visitors from all over the world but also highlight the unique cultural heritage of Wentworth."

The Wentworth Visitor Centre provides expert local knowledge, maps, and personalised recommendations. Visitors can explore Wentworth Audio tours via the StoryTowns App and immerse themselves in the town's heritage. Accommodation options range from resorts and motels to river retreats, catering to all preferences. Local shopping and dining experiences include charming boutiques, artisan offerings, and eateries celebrating local produce.

With its natural beauty, rich history, and bold vision, Wentworth is more than a destination—it’s an experience waiting to be discovered. Pack your bags and explore Wentworth, where every corner has a story and every visit leaves lasting memories.
