DARLINGTON POINT
Darlington Point was established in 1864 on
a bend in the Murrumbidgee River, where road and river traffic converged.
Paddle steamers were serving the area as
long ago as 1850, with a public wharf being built in 1881.
The river was crossed by punt until 1904
when a lift-span bridge was built and used until 1979, when the new bridge was
opened. The old bridge towers have been reconstructed at the entrance of the
town caravan park.
The town offers many recreational
activities in the vast State Forest areas around Darlington Point, including
picnic areas, bushwalking, camping, swimming and fishing in the Murrumbidgee
River.
Stroll through the forest glades and feast
your eyes on the colourful bird life - parrots, cockatoos, robins, swans, ducks,
pelicans, spoonbills and kingfishers on the the lagoons.
Darlington Point residents and business
operators are proud of their town and invite your to enjoy its charm
IN APPRECIATION
In
recognition of the contribution of the Lions Clubs of Turkey, especially Lion
Dr. Enzar Tore, in providing free web page hosting for Lions Clubs everywhere,
the Lions Club of DARLINGTON POINT in the state of NEW SOUTH WALES
proudly displays the flag of Turkey on our site.
Click on the flag to go to the web site of Lion Dr. Enzar's home club - the

As an extension to the
Turkish Lions' contribution, the Brisbane Ekibin Lions Club of MD 201 Q1
(Australia) offer assistance to Lions Clubs who want to take advantage of the
Turkish Lions offer, but are not familiar with web publishing. They've already
set up many sites for Lions Clubs world-wide, using Lionwap.
If your club wants to be on the internet, and would like some help, leave a
message in the Ekibin Guest Book by clicking on the image above. This is a
FREE SERVICE, so you don't spend a cent for their work. As Lionwap is also
FREE, this means you get a web site that you NEVER have to pay for. -
Is that a deal or what?!
