Brewarrina may only be small in size, but its culture, aboriginal dreamtime stories, rich history and its connection to the river makes it a destination with so much soul it would be the envy of larger cities.
Bourke
“If you know Bourke, you know Australia” so wrote the famous Australian poet Henry Lawson in 1882.
The township of Bourke, iconic in the National psyche as ‘The Back of Bourke’, rests nestled on a bend of the Darling River, a vibrant regional hub of history, culture, and unforgettable experiences. From the impressively modern and progressive exhibition centre; bursting with a wealth of information of the story of Western NSW; to the Historic cemetery which holds the very story of the outback deep in its soil. Bourke’s depth, variety and cultural charm surprises even the most seasoned traveller.
Louth
“A place that loved a drink, a party and a punt”. So wrote Henry Lawson.
Louth is a small service town (Pub, fuel and general store) on the Darling River about 100km downstream from Bourke and 100km upstream from Tilpa.
Normally a quiet and sleepy settlement, once a year it is the scene for an classic annual country race meeting in August each year and attracts travellers form far and wide to the 7 race event.
