About the Historical walk

Enjoy a wander around the town of Laura on this self guided walk.

There are some interpretive brochures, however we recommend visiting the Laura Information Centre (open daily 10am to 4pm) and collecting a brochure for $1, which has information about each historical site.

Laura was established in 1871 and is home of Golden North icecream, and was once home to poet C J Dennis.

The walk begins from Laura Information Centre.
