🎾⛳ Outback Fun at Nelia Gaari Station on the #DarlingRiverRun!
Camping at Nelia Gaari Station isn’t just about soaking up the serenity of the Darling River — it’s where you can mix relaxation with a bit of friendly outback competition!
Challenge your mates to a round of golf on the outback fairways, or grab a racket for a hit on the bush tennis court - both set against sweeping Darling River views.
After the games, cool off by the river, enjoy a campfire dinner, grab a book from the book exchange or enjoy a beer at the 'Club House'.
Nelia Gaari is a working sheep station offering powered and unpowered riverside campsites and great facilities – the perfect place to stop and slow down #OutOnTheRun
