Visitors Information
The township of Dargo lies at the foot of the Dargo High Plains, nestled in a beautiful valley of 100 year old walnut trees. The Dargo River meanders through town, making Dargo an ideal destination as a base point to discover the spectacular scenery of the High Plains and the Grant Historical area.
The town first came to prominence around the mid to late 1800's during the gold rush to the Crooked River. It was a supply centre for the miners camped out on the rivers.
Bullock teams hauled Irish Whiskey, picks, shovels and food into the town . Packhorse teams then carried goods on to towns such as Grant, Talbotville and Bull Town. These towns were carved from the wilderness and linked by bridle tracks.
Today Dargo attracts fisherman, walkers, hikers, 4WD and trail bike riders and those intent on getting out to enjoy the bush.
All that remains of the mining heritage are the mines, some crumbling dwellings and old machinery. Recent bush fires have damaged some of the historical ruins, but markers still allow us to pin point there existence.
Dargo is a place to stay and enjoy this picturesque and peaceful valley.
