Mendooran Mural Town

Take a leisurely stroll through the village of Mendooran and admire the colourful murals that brighten the township. These artworks, many created by former resident artist Karen Duce, reflect the unique character and heritage of the area. A standout mural near the Royal Hotel captures a striking bullock team hauling a dray loaded with wool bales, offering a glimpse into Mendooran’s pastoral past.

Situated along the Castlereagh River, Mendooran is the oldest settlement on its banks and holds a strong reputation for horse sports. The town proudly hosts the annual Mendooran Rodeo and the historic Mendooran Cup, a racing event that has delighted visitors for more than 153 years.

Travellers are welcome to enjoy free camping at the Mendooran Rest Area, which includes access to toilets, cold showers, and a dump point. For those seeking a warm meal and some comfort, the Royal Hotel serves delicious country-style food. Dining in also gives guests the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing hot shower.

With a warm community atmosphere and a rich connection to history, Mendooran invites you to experience genuine country hospitality.
