Description

 

This small town sits just west of the highway at the foot of the Darling Scarp. The Serpentine Hotel serves excellent and affordable lunches and dinners.

Settlement started here in 1891 and the town site was gazetted in 1893. The name comes from a nearby river which snakes through the area.
