Update:
The White Cliffs Solar Power Station, where NSW first proved renewable energy could power a community, has secured its place in history with a listing on the State Heritage Register. The Solar Power Station is recognised as the first commercially operated solar thermal power station in NSW and one of the earliest of its kind in the world.

📣 In case you missed it… exciting news from Bourke!

Bourke’s historic North Bourke Bridge is set to become accessible again, with $5 million secured through the NSW Government’s Get NSW Active Program.

Opened in 1883, the bridge is Australia’s oldest surviving movable-span bridge and a remarkable link to the Darling River’s paddle-steamer era. The project will deliver new approaches, reconnect Bourke’s walking and cycling network, and help preserve this much-loved landmark for locals and visitors alike.

The restoration will bring an important piece of river history back within reach, adding another memorable experience to a journey along the Darling River Run.
