🦞Walking around Wentworth, it’s hard to miss the town’s connection to the Darling River… it’s everywhere you look.

Even the street furniture tells the story.

Take a seat on this yabbie bench and you’re reminded just how much the river shapes life out here.

When you reach Wentworth on the #DarlingRiverRun, slow it right down. Wander the streets, look a little closer, and you’ll start to notice the details that make this corner of Outback NSW so special.

So next time you’re in town - take a moment, have a seat, and soak it in.

🛌🏼 Planning your next outback escape along the #DarlingRiverRun? Add Lower Lila Retreat to your list of options.

Set on a massive 64,000-acre property 84km northwest of Bourke on the Warrego River, this is true outback hospitality - wide open spaces, big skies and total peace and quiet.

They’ve been busy over summer making upgrades to their facilities and adding new options to an already great range of accommodation.

Stay your way, including fully equipped off-grid cabins - perfect for switching off, slowing down and soaking up the outback.

Expect plenty of wildlife encounters while you’re there… kangaroos, emus, birdlife, echidnas and more roaming the country around you.

It's also a great place to stay and explore some of the amazing new National Parks in the area, including the newly opened #Cuttaburra National Park.

Lower Lila Retreat is part of the Outback Beds network, making it easy to plan your stay #OutOnTheRun

📞 For enquiries and bookings visit their website or phone on 0456 398 404.
