The Darling River has shaped our town, our stories and our way of life.

From the wharves to the bridge, the river has carried history, people, trade and memories through the Back O’ Bourke for generations.

Take a moment, head down to the river, and enjoy one of the most important parts of Bourke’s story.

Forget designer bath

Forget designer bathrooms and fancy fittings. Along the Darling River Run, you'll find something far more authentic.

This bush dunny at Trilby Station is one of the many along riverside and billabong campsites and features corrugated iron construction, recycled cookware décor and uninterrupted views of the Australian bushland.

Rustic charm? ✔️ Character? ✔️ Five-star location? ✔️

Out here, the nearest neighbour might be a kangaroo, the soundtrack is birdsong, and there's never a queue for the amenities.

📍 Riverside Camping, Trilby Station

It's just one of the many uniquely Australian experiences waiting for you #OutOnTheRun.

Hope youre enjoying

Hope you're enjoying the long weekend wherever your travels have taken you.

There’s something special about waking up at a station stay along the #DarlingRiverRun - wide open skies, peaceful surroundings, abundant wildlife and unforgettable outback landscapes right on your doorstep.

📍 Pictured here is beautiful Bindara On The Darling, part of the Outback Beds network, and one of the many unique places to stay #OutOnTheRun. Whether you're camping under the stars, pulling up the caravan, or enjoying station accommodation, these are the moments that make an outback journey truly memorable.

Slow down, stay a little longer and embrace the adventure.
