About Wanaaring
Wanaaring is a remote outback village in far north-western New South Wales, on the Paroo River about 180 kilometres west of Bourke. It lies on the Cut Line road between Bourke and Tibooburra, serving surrounding pastoral country that supports cattle, sheep and goats. The name is believed to be a local Aboriginal word for a wood duck, and the Paroo Inn has stood there since 1867. Long-distance travellers stop at the village for meals and fuel.
