"Walcha, pronounced “wolka” - where wild rivers run.

"Halfway between Sydney and Brisbane it’s the oldest town & first settlement on the New England Tablelands.

"Walcha’s Open Air Gallery started in 1996 & boasts the most public art per head of population in Australia.

"Currently there are 58 installations. Here’s a taste from our walk around the town and along the Apsley River."

Visit Walcha NSW!
With access to 9 national parks for exploring, beautiful scenery, walks and waterfalls, Walcha is a great place to "get away, wind down" and immerse yourself in nature. Enjoy crisp cool nights and the warmth of an open fire for a wonderful winter escape.
