Take the RIVER DRIVE at Kinchega National Park.
If you’re travelling the Darling River Run, the River Drive at Kinchega National Park, Menindee is one of the most rewarding detours you can make.
Winding for around 20km from the Menindee Lake Outlet Regulator, the drive follows the meandering Darling River beneath towering River Red Gums, some hundreds of years old. Look closely as you go: many trees carry the scars of traditional Aboriginal industry, with Coolamons (carry baskets) and canoes once cut from their bark, and even toe holes used to climb high into the canopy. Others are etched with the incredible height of past floods, marking the passing of time in this ancient landscape.
With 34 shaded campsites along the river, each with a bin and wood BBQ, and many with picnic tables, it’s also the perfect place to slow down and settle in for a couple of days to explore this facinating area
Campsite bookings required at the NSWParks website.
