Housed in the original Post Office Hotel, which was built in 1860 from pit-sawn and hand-sewn local cypress timber, the building once had a very mixed clientele, including the 'Father of Federation', Sir Henry Parkes, and Fred Ward, the bushranger. It was also once a blacksmith's shop and an old school room from the days when one-teacher schools were very popular among the small country towns and villages. The museum is home to historical machinery, local memorabilia and an extensive geological collection. The Bingara Historical Museum Complex comprises several buildings other than the Museum itself. One houses an extensive photo collection which the Bingara District Historical Society has catalogued, and another houses a fascinating collection which comprises fossils, minerals (Australia wide), sea shells and bird's eggs. A sign Gil "Goldfinger" Craig's Gem and Mineral Museum takes pride of place on the centre wall as you enter the museum as it was Gil Craig, a local geologist, who donated the majority of the collection to the museum. A great example of some fascinating finds in the museum is this bottle made for H J Fay, Bingara. It is no ordinary bottle, the top is sealed bar a few holes which released the liquid and in the neck of the bottle sits a marble. The only way to access the marble was to break the bottle.

Bingi Bingi Point offers a scenic expanse of golden beaches and untamed bushland with sea eagles soaring overhead and waves crashing on rugged rocks below. Perched on the edge of Eurobodalla National Park on the south coast, even if it's not whale watching season, there are birdwatching opportunities all year round. Bingi Dreaming track runs from Congo to Tuross and passes Bingi Bingi Point. Hike a section of this track, enjoy walking around the rocks, having a picnic or taking in the scenic coastal vista. Keep your eyes peeled for the rusted remains of the ill-fated SS Monaro on the eastern end of the point. On the morning of 29 May 1879 the 521-tonne vessel ran ashore after battling bad weather and heavy seas, and within hours the ship was in pieces.

Follow in the footsteps of the Brinja-Yuin people as you walk the Bingi Dreaming track. Traditionally, Dreaming tracks or Song Lines link the places visited by Aboriginal people, the Bingi Dreaming track links campsites, ceremonial and trade sites, fresh water and plentiful coastal food sources. Along the way, you might see stone artefacts or patches of shell middens. The walk passes through different types of coastal habitat; there are great opportunities for birdwatching among the heathlands, forests and lakeshores and you’re likely to see kangaroos and wallabies relaxing in the sun. If you’re walking during whale watching season, be sure to stop off at one of the vantage points along the way for a glimpse of the majestic creatures, as well as panoramic views of Gulaga (Mount Dromedary) and Baranguba (Montague Island). Stretching from Congo in the north to Tuross Head in the south, you can start the 14 kilometre walk from either end, or break it up into a few shorter walks to enjoy over a couple of days.

Bingie Beach North is one of the most outstanding stretches of remote, wind-swept coastline on the Eurobodalla coast. The northern end of this long, exposed beach begins at Bingie Bingie Point and runs south for around four kilometres, ending at Coila Lake and Tuross Head. The beach is part of the 14+ kilometre Bingi Dreaming Track, a cultural pathway linking campsites, ceremonial and trade sites, fresh water and plentiful coastal food sources. Bingie Bingie Point is an important place for the area's traditional custodians. Hidden away from the water, shell middens, stone working areas and quarries provide strong links to Aboriginal culture. Nearby Mullimburra Point is formed of resilient 400-million-year-old granite. The rock collection here is very rare, with granite and diorite prominent and black volcanic basalt scattered about, offering unique photo opportunities. Four beaches surround the point, one to the north and three to the south, all within the national park. Please note the beaches in this area are not patrolled and feature regular strong rips and currents, along with persistent surf breaks. Take care near the water. There is a car park, and entry is free.

The Northern Territory is home to the highest number of waterbirds in Australia as well as some of the most beautiful and rare bird species. The aptly-named Bird Billabong is located in the Mary River National Park between the Mount Bundey Hills and the Mary River channel, and is teeming with many of them. Take the pleasant 2 kilometre stroll to the billabong through scenic surrounds. Stand on the viewing platform at the waters edge, taking in panoramic views over the billabong - a permanent fresh water swamp surrounded by paperbark forests. The full loop walk of the billabong is an easy 4.5km, which should take around 2 hours. Bring your binoculars and camera - there's so much to see - Magpie geese, ducks, Jabiru, herons, ibis and other waterbirds are known to frequent the landlocked billabong. Many species such as Radjah Shelduck breed in the billabong as waters recede on the wetlands. The billabong changes vastly across seasons, from fully flooded (February/March) to parched dry (usually by October). The Mary River is one of eight rivers in the Top End that have large floodplains in their catchments. The Arnhem Highway crosses five of these eight rivers as you travel between Darwin and Jabiru.

The Bird Hide Walk is a walk with Narawntapu National Park. 30 minutes return, 2 km. Grade 1. The Bird Hide Walk is a short stroll over well a formed track, which takes you through banksia scrub and a tall paperbark swamp. As you walk along the track (particularly in the warmer months) keep your eyes open for our resident copper head snakes! They like to keep themselves cool and close to their tucker in the shelter of the swamp or sunbathe on the track. If you listen, you will hear the sound of their prey as the little frogs call in the distance. With a little luck and good timing when you near the bird hide, there is an addition to the symphony of the paperbark swamp, as life on the lagoon calls. Among the many birds spotted from the hide (depending on the time of year) are ducks, herons, swans, cormorants, coots, bitterns, grebes and many more. Bring along your binoculars, guide books a keen set of eyes and ears or just enjoy the relaxing stroll. Please refer to the Parks and Wildlife Service Tasmania website (parks.tas.gov.au) for up-to-date information about this walk, alerts, closures, safe walking guidelines, leave no trace principles and National Park entry fees where applicable.

Middle Brother National Park may look small from the outside, but inside are two big surprises. Surviving years of local logging, Bird Tree and Benaroon are two of the largest blackbutts in the entire state. Bird Tree picnic area is the ideal place to visit these imposing giants, with a short loop through old growth forest perfect for walking with children and requiring only moderate fitness. But the trees aren’t the only attraction here. Remember to look up as you walk along the trail as koalas can be spotted sleeping in the eucalypts during the day. Also, a host of different birds like glossy black cockatoos, king parrots, and wedge-tailed eagles live in the area. If birdwatching is of interest to you, there’s much to turn your head here. A night walk is equally rewarding, with owls and ring-tailed possums on the prowl. After your stroll, find a place to picnic at one of the convenient tables, soaking up the atmosphere. It’s easy to spend a whole afternoon here, enjoying the forest sounds and sense of seclusion.

The reserve was opened, as it now stands, in the late 1980s once then Shire of Sherbrooke (now known as Yarra Ranges Council) purchased the land from the Bird family and promoted it as a community bushland area. The reserve has barbeques and is a perfect spot for a picnic. There are walking tracks throughout the reserve for bushwalking. Visit the website for opening hours.

Explore the digital archive and experience court hearings from the past. For a century the building served as a courthouse, police administration and residence for officers and their families. Over the years, a few cell blocks were built as one would collapse and another constructed to replace it, while further out the back there is the final Tracker's Hut, built in 1948. From 1980 police families moved into the modern residence next door, and then in 1988 administration was transferred from the court room to the current police station. What makes this courthouse unique to the state is that it was built with masonry rather than timber. What makes it worthy of being on the Queensland Heritage Register is its link with the earliest establishment of pastoral settlement in the district, and Birdsville's role as a border and customs post.
