Wingham Museum
Wingham Museum has been named by the Powerhouse as one of the top regional museums in NSW. It has an extensive collection of rare historical items that evoke the simplicity of yesteryear.

The museum was famously opened in 1968 by Australia’s great aviatrix, Nancy Bird Walton and is housed in one of Wingham’s most historically significant buildings – its first general store. The collection is lovingly curated by a team of dedicated volunteers.

Wander the two large rooms of themed displays that house antiques ranging from Gaelic bibles bought out by original Scottish settlers to rare local aboriginal artefacts and hand- carved furniture. Each display is supported by the Manning Valley Historical Society’s nationally significant photographic collection, which provides a fascinating insight into what life was like for the pioneering men and women who chose to settle in rural towns.

Wingham Brush
Wingham Brush Nature Reserve makes a great family day trip or school excursion. You can see flying foxes, enjoy birdwatching, and walk in the rainforest. You’ll find an oasis of subtropical lowland rainforest beside the Manning River at Wingham Brush Nature Reserve.

Referred to as ‘The Brush,’ this reserve is not just a scenic spot but a testament to our commitment to nature conservation. It safeguards one of the few remnants of this rare rainforest, which serves as a crucial roosting and maternity site for the vulnerable grey-headed flying fox. Stand under the canopy and witness the marvel of hundreds of flying foxes hanging above you.

Wander along the wheelchair-accessible boardwalk and follow easy walking tracks to discover the vibrant life under the canopy. There are great photography and birdwatching opportunities and lovely places to picnic by the river nearby. Don’t miss the spectacular show at sunset, when all those flying foxes glide overhead in search of food.
