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.

Planning an outback trip? Put the Mutawintji National Park on the list and time it with the Mutawintji Cultural Festival 7-8 August 2026.

Set among the rugged ranges and ancient landscapes of Mutawintji NP this is more than an event, it’s a chance to experience culture on Country.

Guided tours through the park bring stories to life, with Aboriginal guides sharing knowledge, history and connection that’s been passed down for generations.

From rock art sites to walking tracks and cultural storytelling, it’s a powerful way to experience the heart of Outback NSW.

Save the date and add this to your bucket list!

📍 Mutawintji National Park
📅 7–8 August 2026

Tickets available soon.

A jam packed weekend this Easter!
And a cherished moment building and lighting a twig for the Billy with Great Grandpa@🤍

We have availability these school holidays to Glamp and camp. The fondest of childhood memories are created when off grid, and surrounded by nature!
