Centrally located in the Southern Riverina region of New South Wales, Urana Shire forms the hub of one of the richest wool, grain, fat lamb and beef-cattle growing areas of Australia.

Urana Shire is traversed by Billabong, Yanco, Colombo and Urana Creeks, each of which has numerous attractive, shaded settings for a refreshing break while travelling through to destinations further afield or in which to set up camp, if staying for a few days.

Those same creeks provide ideal locations for fishing and water skiing and the sheltered water of the man-made lake at the Urana Aquatic Centre forms an oasis for the weary traveller, with its well-appointed caravan park and shady picnic area.
