What to expect
The Charles Sturt Memorial commemorates explorer Captain Charles Sturt and his party passing this place in 1829 on their epic journey along the Murrumbidgee River to discover an inland sea. Local lore has it that Sturt marked a tree on the site of this memorial, which is situated at Narrandera on the northern bank of the Murrumbidgee River, just west of the Newell Highway near the entrance to the Narrandera Wetlands.
