In Murrin Bridge, a small Aboriginal community located on the banks of the Lachlan river, a few kilometres north of Lake Cargelligo right in the heart of New South Wales.
Where the journey will take you is up to you. You might just want to buy some of the wine which Murrin Bridge is famous for - "red wine, white wine, black wine", as the slogan goes - from the only Aboriginal-owned vineyard in Australia. You might wish to explore Outback New South Wales, a region which has so much to offer to the visitor, especially if travelling in a four-wheel drive. Or you could take Murrin Bridge as your starting point for getting to know Aboriginal Australia.
When you come to Murrin Bridge you meet true Australians, the descendants of the people who have lived on the continent for tens of thousands of years. Murrin Bridge is located in Wiradjuri country although most of its people can trace their roots back to the Ngiyampaa and Paakintji tribes: this is because Murrin Bridge started off as a "mission", a place set up by the government to accommodate Aboriginals driven out of their traditional lands. 
For the Ngiyampaa and Paakintji people, these traditional lands lie to the north and west of Murrin Bridge, to places as far away as Menindee, Wilcannia, Mildura and Brewarrina.
Today, Murrin Bridge is no longer a mission but a thriving community running its own affairs, on its own land. This website portrays that community, its people and their many talents, its businesses, activities, and history. Murrin Bridge is a perfect place to start exploring outback New South Wales and Aboriginal Australia.
