History

Wentworth is a town full of cultural heritage; the community spirit is very strong. Because of the two mighty rivers, it attracts tourism. This building will soon become a gourmet restaurant, wine tasting centre and retail food store in mid-2004. The building served as a navigation company from 1882 onwards, when the rivers were the highways, and has since been service station, butchery etc. After being empty for a few years it will now soon come to life with local food and wines. Wentworth was built at the confluence of the Murray-Darling Rivers because of the convenience of having access to both rivers and the traffic they brought.
