Bourke
Embedded in our Australian folklore is the iconic saying “Back O’ Bourke”. First coined by the Scottish poet William Ogilvie in his poem “At the Back O’ Bourke” the saying captures the image of the remoteness of Australia’s vast outback. Bourke is known as the gateway to the real outback and the ideal place to start your Darling River journey.Brewarrina
Brewarrina is a popular cultural and heritage stop for visitors taking in some of Outback NSW’s most stunning country. The Brewarrina District is adorned with some of nature’s most spectacular natural attractions including the National Heritage Listed Brewarrina Fish Traps, Culgoa National Park and the magnificent Barwon River.National Parks
Outback NSW not only has some of the best National Parks in NSW, but also Australia. National Parks of Outback NSW are as diverse as the area itself. From Mungo National Park in the south-west of the State, the river land beside the Darling River at Kinchega National Park to the remote outback expanses of Sturt National Park.The Darling River Run
The Darling River Run is a thin, winding line describing a route through the NSW outback, characterised by landscape, history, culture, literature and adventure. Taken as a whole, or in its various component parts, the route provides an opportunity to see the real Australian Bush and experience some safe and easy off-road driving, connect with Aboriginal culture and iconic Towns & Locations along the Darling River, and drench yourself in the history, and contemporary life of a part of the country that is central to the national psyche.

#ONTHERUN | #Zanci the name given to the upper grey-green clay and sandy clay group of sediments of the lunette gets its name from “Zanci” Station. This was a soldier settlement block which was once part of Gol Gol Station but from 1984 it has formed half of the #MungoNationalPark.
The #ZanciHomestead site comprises a range of buildings – some still proudly in their original condition having been refurbished, and some of which are now only ruins.
The Dugout was built by the Vigar family as a coolroom and a place to escape the blistering heat of hot summer days.
The Stables is a drop pine log walled and spinefex thatched building which is typical construction of the ‘old outback’. … timber, fencing wire and spinefex or cane grass.
Built from iron and flattened kerosene tins, the original homestead had two rooms and a small kitchen, where cooking was carried out over an open fire and with camp ovens.
Take a step back in time and visit this site’s remarkable ruins. Perhaps the most photographed feature is the old outhouse – a fine example of the historic 'dunny out the back'.
