The eastern journey (mostly sealed) from Menindee takes you 128km before reaching the quaint town of Pooncarie.
For more adventure and different scenery the unsealed western route takes you through the infamous Kinchega National Park and via Tandou Lake and then back through Bindara Station to follow the Darling once more.
Visit the Old Wharf Site and Cafe on the banks of the Darling River or stop in for a beer and a meal at the Pooncarie Hotel. The highlight on the social calendar is the Pooncarie Cup held each October – not to be missed.
