Inroads into tourism


Tourist Association and Council representatives met to discuss plans for the new Tourist Information Centre at the Lions Park

Positive inroads into tourism continue to be made by the highly motivated local tourist team headed by John Murray.

John is steering the group towards potential prosperity Shire wide.

Modification to the local tourist maps has been broadly endorsed with the car door tours proving to be a plus for first time visitors.

With colour brochures well advanced and Lightning Ridge included on most major Tourist Ways it has become a tourist destination relative to other centres.

No doubt the most exciting news for the Tourist Association will be the conversion of part of the OPAL FM premises to be the local Tourist Information Centre.
