Car weary legs will appreciate this stretch of shady riverbank walkway flanking the town. A star feature, the Riverbank Walkway includes the Jack Taylor Weir and Andrew Nixon Bridge at the far end, with its commemorative stone to mark Sir Thomas Mitchell’s crossing of the Balonne River on St George’s Day back in 1846. Along the riverbank walkway, markers showcases the flood heights and history of the swollen Balonne River from years gone by.
