DINE & DISCOVER NSW
Local Participating Businesses
To help support dining, arts and tourism business, the NSW Government is giving
every NSW resident aged 18 years and over 4 x $25 Vouchers. You'll receive: -
• 2 x $25 vouchers to dine in at Restaurants, faces, bars, pubs and clubs from
Monday to Thursday (excluding public holidays)
• 2 x $25 vouchers to discover entertainment and recreation activities, including
cultural institutions, live music and arts venues, to use 7 days a week (excluding public holidays).
To participate in Dine & Discover NSW, you must have a MyServiceNSW Account. You'll be able to apply for your vouchers
from March. You can download the Service NSW app now and register for a MyServiceNSW Account ahead of the vouchers
becoming available. Before Dine & Discover NSW opens up across the state, the scheme will be tested with a small number
of participants at The Rocks and Broken Hill in early February, and then piloted with a larger group in Sydney CBD, Northern
Beaches and Bega Valley from late February. Businesses within these areas that successfully register can expect customers
with vouchers during February. Service NSW will invite customers in the test and pilot areas to participate. If your business is
outside these areas, you can register now and expect customers with vouchers from March when the scheme rolls out across
the state. For more information visit https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/campaign/dine-discover-nsw

Old Wentworth Gaol
Built in 1879-1881, the small single storey brick gaol, with bluestone
trim, was designed by colonial architect, James Barnett. It was the first
of the Australian designed gaols (Hay and Dubbo gaols followed this
one). The bricks were made on site from local clay, by Joseph Fritz and
the bluestone from Wales was transported from Malmsbury, Victoria.
The new gaol replaced over-crowded lock-ups and was utilised until its
closure in 1927. After its closure as a gaol, the building was utilised as
extra classrooms for the Wentworth Central School until 1963 and
today, due to its remarkable condition, is a major tourist attraction.
Visitors now enter the building through the Warden’s residence. There
is a site map available for self-guided
OPEN: tours plus a well-stocked gift & antique shop.
Monday to Wednesday: 10am – 4pm 03 5027 3337
Saturday & Sunday: 10am – 2pm
CLOSED: Thursday & Friday
Riverboat Rod's Model Paddle Steamer Display
Possibly the largest and only collection of its kind in the world, over 30 hand-
made replicas hand-crafted with amazing and intricate detail.
A life-time of work on display. Riverboat Rod constructs each Paddle steamer
as closely as possible to original design. Many boats Rod has built range
between 300 and 700 hours. The attention to details is just incredible and some
of his models now feature in museums around Australia and at the Wentworth
Shire Council’s office. Entry is a donation which would be very much appreciated
to help Rod cover the expense of printing the information pamphlets with detailed
descriptions of each steamer, that are also available. Rod's shop is currently
located in the main street of Wentworth, NSW, on the junction of the Murray and
Darling rivers. Open Wednesday to Sunday 10am – 4pm
