  3. Kinchega Shearers’ Quarters, Kinchega National Park
Address:
Menindee
Description:

In 1883 shearers at Kinchega would shear 143,000 sheep with hand shears! The Shearers' Quarters was home to the men who worked at the Woolshed. Today the shearers’ quarters offers basic accommodation ( BYO bedding) in a heritage building. It’s a good alternative to camping, especially if you are visiting the park in winter, with shared kitchen facilities for guests, and a woodfire in the communal lounge room for those chilly nights. It’s nearby to the Old Kinchega Woolshed, the Darling river and the historic ruins of old Kinchega Homestead, so is a great place to base yourself to explore the park. Visit the website to book your accommodation, or call 1300 072 757 to book over the phone.
