This document is the pest management strategy for the Western Rivers Region, which stretches from Bathurst in the east to Balranald in the west, and from north of Cobar to south along the Murray River from Corowa to Swan Hill, covering 24% of NSW. It includes major stretches of the Lachlan, Murrumbidgee, Edward and Murray Rivers.
The Mount Grenfell Historic Site and adjoining reserves are located about 70 kilometres north-west of Cobar in the dry sparsely populated country of the Cobar Peneplain — it is ‘red Country’.
