Yetman
Small and pretty village on the Macintyre River
Yetman is a small and pretty village by the Macintyre River in north-western NSW, about 30 km south of the Queensland border and 701 km north of Sydney. It is located at the intersection of the roads south to Tamworth, east to Tenterfield and north-west to Goondiwindi.

The area was once occupied by the Bigambul, a sub-group of the Murri Aboriginal people who used to fish along the Macintyre River. The Yetman station was established in 1837 by the Dights who followed Allan Cunningham's trail to the north.

The first hotel license was issued in 1866 at about same time as the first store was built. The first public school and post office were established in 1867. In applying for a post office the applicants claimed that the population was then about 100 but this was considered a considerable exaggeration. The first police station was built in 1874. St Andrews Church was built in the 1870s for use by both Presbyterian and Anglican congregations.

The town has always been associated with beef cattle and horses, with the sheep, wool and timber industries developing only slightly later.The thick rabbit and prickly-pear-ridden scrub of the brigalow and belah country was reclaimed from expiring leases in the 1920s and the back-breaking work of rendering it fit for agriculture did not bare fruit until the 1950s when wheat-growing became and ramins a highly successful enterprise. Some crops are also grown on the fecund black soils of the river flats.

Things to see:  

Fishing
Being situated on the Macintyre River, fishing is very popular at Yetman. However, other than this there is little to detain the visitor other than the facilities and accommodation of a small town.
