The Walcha Visitor Information Centre is staffed by friendly locals who are armed with extensive knowledge and a wide range of maps and brochures to assist visitors in making the most of their visit to the area. The Centre also offers free Loan-a-Bikes to enable visitors to discover Walcha, or tour the renowned Walcha Open Air Gallery which features more than fifty sculptures and artworks. A free comprehensive brochure and self-guiding map of the gallery are available at the Centre. An abundance of outdoor activities on Walcha's doorstep can be accessed easily within a short drive from town. Highlights include Apsley and Tia Waterfalls, Budds Mare Lookout and Riverside (over 700 metres in depth from the rim of one of Australia's largest gorge systems). Fishing and camping are popular activities around New England High Country, with an abundance of cool running streams and National Parks namely, Oxley Wild Rivers, Werrikimbe, Cottan-Bimbang, Willi-Willi and Nowendoc National Parks. Walcha's topography lends itself to some great four-wheel-driving and motorcycling on the Oxley Highway or Thunderbolts Way (two of the best rides in Australia). Embrace the rich heritage of the area, with Walcha being the first area of European settlement and the oldest town in New England.
