Boggabilla
Small town on the Newell Highway
Boggabilla is a small town of some 750 people on the
Newell Highway, 118 km north-east of Moree, 9 km south-east of
Goondiwindi and 744 km north of Sydney. It is situated on the
NSW-Queensland border, by the banks of the Macintyre River.
Boggabilla has little to detain the passer-by, although there
is a motel, a caravan park and the Wobbly Boot Hotel. The latter
attained some notoriety when it became the title and theme of a popular
country song by Stan Coster.
Things to see:
Boobera Lagoon
23 km west of town is the Boobera Lagoon which has
been a popular swimming, picnicking, sailing, boating and waterskiing
spot. However, it is considered a site of great significance by the
area's indigenous inhabitants who are therefore trying to alter its
free public access status.
