The quaint township of Trangie, with a population of 1000, is just 34km west of Narromine on the Mitchell Highway, and is home to some of the most authentic country pubs. These pubs all exude old world charm and date back to the early 1900’s. (Trangie Hotel est. 1883, Royal Hotel est. 1900, and Imperial Hotel est.1916). Stop and enjoy a counter lunch at these hotels and experience the real Aussie pub atmosphere.

While in Trangie, take a look at the antiaircraft gun and navy submarine torpedo located outside the United Services Memorial Club, which were donated to the club by visiting servicemen. Other donations include various flags and a surface to air missile. Call into the Club to see the memorabilia on display.

On the eastern edge of town is the Goan Cowal or Waterhole which is “Home of the Big Billy”– take time to relax and enjoy a picnic or barbeque. Shade shelters, playground, plenty of parking and restroom facilities are available.
