Nyngan in Full Colour
We pulled into Nyngan for our second visit and set up camp at the peaceful Nyngan Weir free camp. It’s a lovely spot, right by the water, and the perfect base to take another look around town. One of the highlights this time was seeing the newly painted water tower, which has been transformed into a stunning piece of public art.
The tower now bursts with colour and life thanks to artists Krimsone and Scott Nagy, whose mural reflects the natural beauty of the Bogan River. Native flora and fauna wrap around the structure, celebrating the environment in vivid, flowing detail. We wandered around the tower, taking in the different angles and loving the way the mural tells a story of place and nature.
While in town, we couldn’t skip a quick visit to the Big Bogan — cheeky as ever and just as good for a second round of photos.
We treated ourselves to breakfast at Gundog Espresso, which quickly reminded us why we remembered it so fondly from our first visit. Great coffee, friendly locals, and a relaxed vibe made for a perfect start to the morning.
