Our Mission
Who are we and what are we doing with the old church? Bloody great question!
Our local Anglican Church is almost 100 years old. It was originally donated to the community and cared for by generations of locals.
Now it’s our turn.
A group of local community members have come together to make sure this beautiful building remains here for generations to come… and we’re opening it to everybody!
We’re raising funds to preserve, restore and maintain the church so it can continue to be a welcoming place for the whole community. A place to gather, celebrate, reflect and connect, whether for worship, community events or life’s milestones.
We believe this building has a future, and we want that future to be one that belongs to all.

Charles and Annette Radford recently celebrated 68 wonderful years of marriage.
The Narrabri couple, formerly of Burren Junction, are popular community members.
They enjoyed the special milestone, receiving a beautiful, big bunch of flowers from family and phone calls from relatives and friends who are scattered across the country.
There was also a lovely celebration at Whiddon’s Jessie Hunt residence, with flowers and, of course, a delicious cake.
When asked the secret to their long and happy life together, Mr and Mrs Radford shared a simple yet meaningful answer: love and respect for each other.
Museum officially opened, Historic Bicycles Walk launched and Helen Baldwin exhibition delights visitors
History, art and community spirit came together in spectacular fashion on Friday night as the Burren Junction School of Arts Hall hosted one of the biggest community celebrations the town has seen in many years.
Visitors travelled from across north-west New South Wales to join local residents for the official opening of the Burren Junction Museum, the launch of the Burren Junction Historic Bicycles Walk and a special exhibition of paintings by renowned Australian artist Helen Baldwin, alongside works by talented local and regional artists.
The evening marked the culmination of almost two years of planning, research and volunteer effort by members of the Burren Junction Progress Association and the wider community.

A wave of mild hysteria swept across the region this week as towns up and down the highway reported dwindling fuel supplies. Drivers were spotted forming queues longer than a Centrelink phone wait, clutching jerry cans like they were rare artefacts from a bygone civilisation. Rumours spread faster than a harvest fire: “No fuel by lunchtime!”, “Servo’s dry!”, “Someone filled a Hilux AND a boat—selfish bugger!”
Local councils issued calm, measured statements encouraging residents to “avoid panic buying,” which of course triggered even more panic buying. One town reportedly saw a man attempt to siphon petrol from his own lawnmower “just in case.”
But in the midst of the chaos, one community remained perfectly, serenely unfazed.
Burren Junction.
While the rest of the region scrambled, Burren locals simply shrugged, sipped their coffees, and carried on with their day. When asked how they were staying so calm during the crisis, one resident replied:
“Mate… Burren Junction ran out of petrol 15 years ago.”
