Located in the heart of New South Wales alongside the Macquarie River, the town of Narromine takes its name from a local Wiradjuri Aboriginal word meaning 'place of honey'. Originally settled in the late 1800s following the extension of the mid-west railway through the town, Narromine would become a flourishing Agricultural centre, successfully cultivating agricultural and grain crops, livestock farms as well as flower market gardens. The aerodrome built following the end of World War I would become a training ground for pilots during World War II and the National Ultra-Light Fly-In Festival takes place in Narromine every year over the Easter long weekend.
