Aboriginal Site
40km West, adjacent to the Lachlan Valley Way, is an Aboriginal burial site of some historic importance known as the "King Grave". It is believed that one of the Lachlan tribal chiefs was interned here. The site predates 1817 when John Oxley encountered it. The burial mount was surrounded by some carved trees, functionally equivalent to totem poles. Today there is a rock monument. The trees have, unfortunately, been removed to other locations and have now been replaced by rough replicas. The site is signposted to the right if you are heading west from Condobolin.
Fishing
The Lachlan River around Condobolin is a popular fishing spot with large cod, perch and catfish to be had. There is a weir near the eastern entrance to town at the southern end of May Street. There is some fine fishing downstream of the weir.
