How to Get to Narrandera

Narrandera Shire is easy to reach, wherever you’re travelling from. Located in southern New South Wales, the Shire is at the heart of the Riverina, making it an ideal gateway to the region. With strong transport links by road, air, and rail, visitors can arrive by the route that best suits their journey — whether that’s flying in from Sydney, boarding a train, or hitting the open road.

The Shire itself includes the welcoming towns of Barellan, famous for its Big Tennis Racquet and home of the Good Old Days Festival, and Grong Grong, a small village with classic Riverina charm at the start of the scenic Canola Way. Together with Narrandera, these towns give travellers a true taste of the Riverina and make the Shire a perfect base for exploring further afield.

The Newell Highway (linking Sydney and Melbourne) and the Sturt Highway (linking Adelaide and Canberra) intersect here, placing Narrandera on the map for road trips between Australia’s biggest hubs. For travellers exploring by car, this means the Shire is a natural stopover or a starting point for a longer adventure across the Riverina and beyond.

Getting here is simple no matter how you like to travel. Fly into Narrandera-Leeton Airport, with regular services to Sydney, or book a NSW TrainLink service with rail and coach connections from Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and regional centres.

Wherever you’re coming from, Narrandera is closer than you think, and the journey here is part of the adventure.
