Gateway to the TARC  from the Mitchell Highway

Trangie, whilst a small town, is relatively close to the large centre of Dubbo and provides a range of lifestyle and sporting activities.With a strong reliance on rural activities, the area grew strong with the rise of the wool industry, and later into a range of broadacre farming activities and grazing.
With the introduction of irrigation, the town grew, as crops such as cotton, soyabeans, corn to name a few, were able to be grown.
Strong community support enables the back bone of events such as the "Crossing the Divide" festival to take place.
Only 45 minutes from Commercial Airline Services to Sydney and a daily Countrylink Service, Trangie is a great place to start your adventure into Australia's Outback.

Along the track to Dandaloo ...
Where droughts are plenty; rains are few;
There lies on a patch of sunburnt ground ...
A little place called Trangie Town.
 
A town that grew on sweeping plains ...
From yields of wool & golden grains;
Where in the wake of the chippers' toil ...
Cotton springs from rich brown soil.
 
Where by the stand of native scrub ...
Goodwill flows from a country pub;
And beneath verandahs & shopfront signs ...
Stockmen muse and pass the time.
 
The time that seems to stand so still ...
(A legacy of the pioneers' will?)
And by shady gums of the Goan stream ...
Weary travellers pause to dream.
 
That's why along the track to Dandaloo ...
Where country faith is tried & true;
You'll find as the western sun goes down ...
It leaves a glow on Trangie Town!
