We’re home to around a third of all bird species in Australia; a fact celebrated on a grand scale with the stunning bird mural on a water tower in Scott’s Park in the heart of town. This and more can be seen by taking the self-guided town walk using a map available at the Visitor Information Centre.
You’ll need a car (or, preferably, a ute) to visit the site of the famous Deni Ute Muster, held annually in October. Even when the iconic event isn’t on, the massive gates at the front of the venue are well worth a look. And speaking of utes, you might also notice the Ute on a Pole when strolling through town.
After days of driving, Deni has the perfect antidote: stretch your legs on the lovely Beach to Beach walk from McLeans Beach through town to Willoughby’s Beach. At around 40 minutes each way, it’s a terrific way to relax as you follow the path of the Edward River through River Red Gums and wetlands.
Fans of Australian colonial and Victorian-era history will not want to miss the Peppin Heritage Centre. With changing local and touring exhibitions, there’s always something new and interesting on display. But history buffs will be drawn to the heritage museum and a Federation-style classroom, with displays showing and telling stories of life in the area more than a century ago.
History of a different nature is on show north of town at the Black Swamp. Take a drive out to the Hay Plains – one of the flattest places on Earth – and stop by the marvellous Headless Horseman sculpture. This folk history yarn warns campers that their sleep might be disturbed by the terrifying arrival of this ghostly apparition, just as people say happened way back in the 1850s.
