Bingara is situated on the Gwydir River, approximately 150 kilometres north of Tamworth. The area was discovered in 1827, immediately attracting graziers, and in 1852 the gold prospectors followed. In the 1880s, copper and diamonds were discovered, and Bingara was the largest producer of diamonds at that time. The Gwydir River Camping Areas (off White & Faithful Sts) offer both short and long-term parking. There is no cost to stay at these sites; however, vehicles must be self-contained, and a maximum stay of 7 days applies. Pets on leads are welcome at the camping areas. Potable water can be found at Cunningham Park (a small fee applies for water), and a dump point is located at the corner of Riddle Street & Bingara Cementery Road. The Gwydir River offers plenty of activities, including fishing, canoeing and river rafting. One of the best ways to experience the area is on horseback with Gwydir River Trail Rides, taking in the pleasure of superb bush trails along the river and high into the ranges. Bingara is a wonderful place to visit, especially for RV travellers.Tourist/Visitor Information CentreRoxy Theatre Building, 74 Maitland StPh: 02 6724 0066bingaratourism@gwydir.nsw.gov.auwww.bingara.com.au Casual Parking (near retail centre)Cunningham St (btwn Maitland & Riddell Sts)Cunningham St (btwn Maitland & Junction Sts)Short & Long Term ParkingGwydir River Camping Area, off White St and off Faithfull St, 7 day maximum stay, self-contained vehicles only, nil charge, pets on leadDump PointNear Cemetery on Riddell StLat: -29.879591, Long: 150.57219Potable WaterCunningham Park, Copeton Dam Rd.   -29.864124, 150.576   Small fee appliesHospitalCopeton Dam Rd, Ph: 02 6728 0100Doctors Surgery94 Maitland St, Ph: 02 6724 1900Pharmacy42 Maitland St, Ph: 02 6724 1400SupermarketIGA,41-45 Maitland St, Ph: 02 6724 1303
