Welcome

Wilcannia (historic) Post OfficeWelcome to the Wilcannia Tourism Association's website.

Wilcannia offers a stunning display of beautiful heritage building, including the local hospital, (old) post office, council chambers, police station and courhouse, to name a few.

Wilcannia wildlife is also rich and diverse, particularly the birdlife.

On a technical note, this website has been designed for the benefit of visitors and tourists, in that it is "mobile ready" (except for browsers that aren't standards-compliant)

White Archibald submission"Mobile ready"1 will be particularly beneficial for anyone seeking useful information using a mobile phone or tablet2 - with information being presented at standard font-sizes, with content and text wrapping and stacking verticaly.

We're still in the process of furnishing the site with tourist-relevant details, such as walks and tours, historical information (a great deal to come), and other materials.

Stay tuned.
