🦞 Stop in at Pooncarie to visit the new Yabby Sculpture by artist Lindsay Butcher – a fun, photo-worthy tribute to river life and local character. Located at Bilbarka Park along the Darling River, it’s a perfect excuse to stretch your legs, snap a pic, and soak up the easy pace of this riverside village #OutOnTheRun.

🍃A quiet moment on the banks of the Darling River (Baaka) at #Wilcannia (image taken 13/5/25).

Plan to stop a while in Wilcannia on the Darling River Run - a town rich with history and a deep connection to the river and its cultural heritage.

Caravan and camping options include the Victory Caravan Park and Warrawong on the Darling. Both great places to stay while exploring this historical river town #outontherun.

Big skies, calm water and a chorus of pelicans gathered at Lake Cawndilla, Menindee. Just another small moment on the Darling River Run where nature puts on a show at every turn.

It’s hot #OutOnTheRunTemperatures soared into the high 30s and low 40s for much of New South Wales on Friday.

Some of the highest temperatures include:

• 43C at Ivanhoe, Flowers Gap, Tibooburra and Wilcannia NSW
• 42C at White Cliffs and Hay NSW
• 41C at Penrith, Bourke, Cobar, Deniliquin and Griffith NSW

Today will see the heat continue across much of northern and eastern New South Wales with temperatures in the high 30s to low 40s around 6 to 12 C above the December average.

Extreme Fire Dangers are forecast for much of eastern and inland New South Wales today, due to the hot dry and windy weather.

Severe heatwave conditions are also forecast for parts of eastern New South Wales and today will be the last day of the heat with a cool change moving across New South Wales on Sunday.

Stay up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings via www.bom.gov.au or the BOM Weather app.

🌕🎣 Does a full moon mean better fishing?

They say a full moon often improves fishing along the Darling for freshwater species because the increased light boosts nocturnal feeding and makes baitfish more active at night.

What do you think - Do you catch more fish on a full moon?

🗝 History runs deep along the Darling River Run. As you get #OutOnTheRun, you’ll uncover reminders of our pastoral past. From weathered woodsheds and sandstone buildings to old homesteads, machinery and everyday artefacts that tell the stories of life along the #DarlingRiver in days gone by.
