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.

The Darling River is the third longest river in Australia and is the lifeblood of Outback NSW. Only a small percentage of the Darling’s water comes from within the Western Catchment - the majority of “fresh” enters the system from Queensland rains (rain falling west of the Divide in Queensland). Be sure during your drive that you call in to the Visitor Information Centres in each township and chat with the friendly staff who are knowledgeable on the best vantage points, local attractions, river history and updated road conditions.

Yes, it’s been rising here at Trilby Station for a couple of days now. Great to see!

We are home again after completing the "Run"... what an experience!! In our little Penguin tourer. She didn't miss a beat until back on asphalt road between Bourke and Brewarrina when a road train blew our solar panel off. This aside it was amazing !!!

Just got home after after doing the “Run” was absolutely amazing, Brewarrina to Menindee and out to Broken Hill, glad all roads were open.

Great news. Definitely needed.

Great to see it on the rise again

We are looking forward to doing this run. My husband, the driver is concerned about towing the caravan on this road. Any recommendations?

Amanda Runge Joanne Alexander Kylie Countryliving we went under this bridge. 210km later we went under the Louth bridge

You beauty 👍

It's not going to flood and make me cancel another trip, coming mid June

James Thurlow we went over this s

A bit of local knowledge please ? Where is that Bridge ? I thought Tilpa was the only cross other than Wilcannia or Bourke ! I’m wanting to travel from Hunter Valley to Tippaburra , Cunamulla !

A favourites of the locals, the Pomona Boat Ramp is a great starting point to explore the lower Darling River system, meander under the trees and catch yourself some dinner! 🎣
