Named after William Charles Wentworth, a former NSW politician, Wentworth lies at the far south-west corner of New South Wales along the Silver City Highway and where the Murray and Darling Rivers intersect.
The town was once a busy riverboat port but has subsided over the years into a service town for the local pastoral and fruit growing industries. Around town there are several historic buildings still standing from the town's heyday (Old Wentworth Gaol, Courthouse and Museum), several well tendered parks abutting the two rivers, river cruises and shopping precinct. Certainly a nice town to visit and while remote to Sydney is nearby to the bustling Mildura for further services.
