Moulamein (NSW)
Moulamein is a historic rural town in southern New South Wales, situated
at the meeting of the Edward River and Billabong Creek. Recognised as the
oldest town in the Riverina, it offers visitors an opportunity to explore
the early pastoral, river-trading and settlement history of the region in
a peaceful country setting.
Long before European settlement, the surrounding rivers, creeks and
wetlands held deep cultural importance for the Wamba Wamba people. These
waterways supported hunting, fishing, camping and ceremonial gatherings
and continue to form an important part of the area’s cultural and natural
landscape.
During the nineteenth century, Moulamein developed as an inland river
port and service centre for the surrounding pastoral district. Paddle
steamers transported wool, agricultural produce, passengers and supplies
along the river system, connecting remote farming properties with larger
markets and regional ports.
The town’s heritage can be explored through the Old Moulamein Wharf,
former courthouse, Mooloomoon Shearing Shed and Moulamein Heritage
Village. Moulamein Lake and the Edward River provide additional
opportunities for walking, picnicking, fishing, birdwatching and enjoying
the river red gum landscape.
ShowcasingOz TV will document Moulamein’s pastoral history, riverside
landmarks, local attractions and community stories as part of its
national filming journey. Following our visit, this page will be expanded
with original photography, professionally produced video and additional
information gathered on location.
