The Location

Founded in 1866 as a port on the upper Darling River, Wilcannia is a community in Far West New South Wales that is steeped in history and culture. The community has a longstanding Aboriginal history that is continued today by the Barkindji people that inhabit the land. The town is also significant as a result of its mining history, its iconic role in the brewery industry and its positioning as a port along the river. The community reached its height in the late 1800s, with gold and opals being discovered in the area and the establishment of Edmund Resch’s Red Lion Brewery. During this time the port attracted visitors from far and wide. Today, the community is recognised for its extensive ties to traditional Aboriginal culture.
