You will never get bored in Armidale

Dumaresq River and Dam

Part of the river course marks the boundary between Queensland and New South Wales. Dumaresq Dam is circled by a pleasant 2.5 km walking track that passes below the dam wall. It is an easy walk, though rock-hopping is required for one section.

A new mountain biking track links to nearby Mount Duval. Both the woodland and the dam offer excellent opportunities for bird watching, and for anglers, the dam is stocked with trout, and occasionally bass.

There is a boat ramp for canoes and kayaks, but petrol boats are not allowed. In summer there are plenty of blackberries to pick.

Heritage Walk

At the Armidale Visitor Information Centre, you can get yourself with a leaflet for a stroll past the many fine old buildings sprinkled around the city center.

You will be able to explore interesting stops like the New England Regional Art Museum, the Armidale Railway Museum, the Aboriginal Cultural Centre, and the historic Booloominbah Homestead at the University of New England.
