VILLAGES Nevertire
Season 3, Episode 6, Nov 18, 12:55 AM
In this episode we hear interviews from people in Nevertire NSW 0n Ngiyampaa / Wangaaypuwan & Weilwan country.
Nevertire is a small country town in New South Wales, Australia. It's fairly remote, sitting right where the Mitchell and Oxley Highways meet. The town started growing when the railway from Dubbo to Nevertire was built in the early days. Later, they extended the railway to Warren. This made it a good place for storing and shipping grain, and remains so today.

Nevertire is a small country town in New South Wales, Australia. It's fairly remote, sitting right where the Mitchell and Oxley Highways meet. You'll find it about 496 kilometres northwest of Sydney, closer to Narromine, Nyngan and Dubbo. If you're coming from Warren, it's about 15-minutes southwest.
The town started growing when the railway from Dubbo to Nevertire was built in the early days. Later, they extended the railway to Warren. This made it a good place for storing and shipping grain, and remains so today.
The passenger train station doesn’t run anymore, but you can still see grain freight trains going through.
Episode Features:
First up Nevertire history from Dr Mary Anne Jebb including some funny stories about locals.
Gwen Hazel reflects about her life and wonderful experiences in Nevertire. She really has a magnificent perspective as her family was one of the first to arrive and work on the railway during the great depression. This Interview with long-time resident Gwen is special.
Barbara and Michael Hancock speak about how they met in Woomera restricted area.
After World War II, Australia and the United Kingdom joined forces to create a new project for testing weapons. They chose remote area Woomera. Barbara and Michael lived there for many years, with such a unique experience and life before eventually coming to the region, settling in Nevertire.
Pauline Serdity shares about coming to Nevertire, the rewards of life in the outback and also discusses the importance of being an active part of her community. Pauline has been a community leader in Nevertire and the Warren Shire for over 22 years. She’s passionate about the arts, health, and the local library. Pauline has worked hard to make sure everyone in Nevertire has access to social activities, health care and a voice for their town!
We’re joined by Maria and Sid Kinsey, who take us on a journey through their experience of bee keeping and tree robbing! What’s all this you ask? Well in this reflective conversation, they share stories and lessons learned from keeping bees in the local area. Dive into this sweet world and see what unfolds…
Laurie talks about his work and fills us in on the crazy mouse plague stories that happened in Nevertire! Apparently, it was so bad that there were literally thousands of mice everywhere.
