NARROMINE SHIRE COUNCIL LIFESTYLE
When the Richards family chose to live in Narromine, they were looking for a move that would provide them with sporting and educational opportunities for their three young boys, without losing the benefits of small community living they’d become accustomed to in the Snowy Mountains.
Jacy and Peter Richards moved to Narromine at the beginning of the year, bringing with them not only their family but two small businesses and expectations for what they describe as a chance to flourish.
“We didn’t want to jump into a bigger centre like Dubbo, we still wanted that country feel and community for the boys but access to growth opportunities for their sport, as Dubbo is only half an hour away for extra sporting development” explains Jacy.
Peter Richards says different scenarios come to mind when considering a move, but the affordability of a place like Narromine made sense.
The country lifestyle was something they also felt was important.
“Here, there’s more of ‘what you see is what you get’...we wanted to be able to show our boys some good hard-working country folk because it is tough out here,” she says.
“Generally, it’s been quite warm and welcoming since we arrived,” says Peter
LIFESTYLEIf you are considering a tree-change the Narromine Region could be the perfect answer for you and your family!
The Narromine Region includes three very unique towns, the hub being the town of Narromine on the banks of the tranquil Macquarie River, Tomingley a quaint village on the edge of the Goobang National Park and Trangie with a strong Cobb and Co History.
The Narromine Region is renowned for its agricultural diversity paired with excellent tourist attractions scattered between the towns of Narromine, Tomingley and Trangie.
Just a thirty minute drive west of Dubbo, the Region is the perfect spot of stop and enjoy the delights of Country NSW. A popular stop-over for travelers heading west and the perfect scenic route for those travelling the Newell from Parkes to Gilgandra.
While our friendly locals and rich culture sets us apart, the area is most famous for its aeronautical history showcased by the Narromine Aviation Museum which is home to aviation memorabilia, historic photographs, and three unique aircrafts including the world’s ONLY replica of the 1907 Wright Flyer Model A.
