Hebel

Tucked away on the NSW/QLD border between, Lightning Ridge and Dirranbandi on the Castlereagh Hwy is Hebel, once known as Kelly's Point because it is believed that Ned Kelly's brother Dan and fellow Kelly gang member Steve Hart lived here under an alias. Just goes to show you never really know who your neighbours are!

Dont be afraid to stay a night or two! 

On first inspection the little town of about 100 people does'nt seem to offer much, but  a day or two could be spent relaxing by the Narran River swimming or trying to lure a nice yellowbelly on to your hook. Also not to be missed is the historic old pub,it is about as much of an outback pub as you will see, I dont think it would be abnormal to tie your horse up out the front. Local art & crafts, food and freindly outback hospitality are in no shortage either.

If you are really lucky you might happen to be there when the old dance hall gets fired up and revisits it's former glory days!
