ABOUT Bollon
As you head west, the soil deepens to a rich red and welcomes you to the charming town of Bollon, a name believed to come from the word Bolion, meaning stone tomahawk or axe. Famous for its picture-perfect camping area along peaceful Wallam Creek, Bollon is a favourite stop
for travellers chasing birdlife, local stories and easy-going country hospitality. This connection can be explored at Nullawokka First Nations Gallery and through local First Nations tours, where
stories, culture and connection to Country are shared in a meaningful and memorable way.
Down by Wallam Creek, follow the walkway to discover peaceful picnic spots, abundant birdlife and the town’s resident Muscovy ducks. Keep an eye out along the campsite and river walk too, as you might just spot the local koala tucked among the gums. The Wallam Creek campsite is also home to a machinery display, featuring an old drilling rig from 1951, adding another piece of local history to this much-loved free camping spot. Take a wander through town and call into the Little Mulga Mailbox, a local shop tucked inside the post office, for a browse, a chat and a little taste of Bollon charm. Next, make your way to the Bollon Heritage Centre to discover the town’s pastoral history and long connection to sheep, shearing and life on the land. Heading further west? Stop by the local hardware store, then call into Wallam Creek General Store for a meal or to stock up before the next leg of your trip.
