Beckom - NSW

Beckom is a village in the central Riverina region 90km east of Griffith. It is accessible just off the Newell Highway. The village of less than 100 people is located on the banks of the Mirrool Creek and was established with the opening of the railway line in 1908 and although passenger services no longer operate, the line remains open for goods trains. The town has some beautiful historic buildings and houses that make you feel like you have stepped back in time. The historic hall and federation style hotel are the pride of the community and will delight heritage tourists. The vintage agricultural machinery display is also worth seeing and you can enjoy some downtime in the community park, which has BBQ facilities and a playground for the kids.
