Dirranbandi marks the end of the South West rail line and was the destination of the very last mail train to operate in Australia. On a visit to Railway Park, you’ll find the old waiting room, the original parcels office and the 1913 Station Master’s residence, which is now the Dirranbandi Rural Transaction Centre.

If you’re looking for a quiet spot to picnic, throw in a line, or stretch your legs, then head to the Jack Dwyer Memorial Park on the edge of town.

In memory of all who fought in the Great War 1914 – 1918 and their horses who could not come home. The Charge of Beersheba took place at dusk on 31 October 1917 and is remembered as the last great cavalry charge. The intention was to capture intact the water supply of the Beersheba wells…

On the opposite side of Railway Street – adjacent to the homeware and gift shops – enjoy the colourful mosaic walkway that shows an artistic take on the town’s history.

While meandering through Railway Park, you will uncover a stone cotton bale in memory of the late Des Stevenson, the pioneer of the cotton industry in Dirranbandi and the famed Cubbie Station.

A bronze statue in the centre of town celebrates the remarkable story of Aboriginal man Tom Dancey – the 1910 winner of Australia’s most famous foot race, the Stawell Gift.
