The Darling River Run
The Darling River Run is a thin, winding line describing a route through the NSW outback, characterised by landscape, history, culture, literature and adventure. Taken as a whole, or in its various component parts, the route provides an opportunity to see the real Australian Bush and experience some safe and easy off-road driving, connect with Aboriginal culture and iconic Towns & Locations along the Darling River, and drench yourself in the history, and contemporary life of a part of the country that is central to the national psyche.
Bourke Christmas Markets are THIS Friday, 14 November! 🎅✨
Join us at Darling Park & the Wharf Precinct, 5:30–8pm, for market-holder stalls, food, kids’ games, the Choir, and a visit from Santa! Bring cash, grab a steak sanga from the Men’s Shed, and enjoy a great Bourke night out.
And the fun doesn’t stop there — wander up Oxley Street, Mitchell Street and Richard Street for the local pub, club, beauty and clothing, jewellery, food, drinks, raffles and more. With great weather on the way, let’s go old-school Bourke and stroll the town, sharing the spirit and the fun.
Let’s not just party in the park — let’s walk the town, celebrate our community, and spread the Christmas cheer.

As you travel the Darling River Run, you’ll find war memorials in the towns and villages of the Darling - from Brewarrina to Wentworth - each telling stories of locals who left home to serve.
Today, on Remembrance Day, we pause along the river to reflect and honour them - the men and women whose service helped shape the nation we journey through today.

🚤 Have you heard the news?
The Jandra is trialling a brand-new 2-hour Saturday cruise, and she’s setting sail this morning at 11am!
Pack a picnic (we recommend scones, jam & cream 😋), help yourself to a complimentary cuppa, and watch the world float by — the perfect way to spend a sunny Saturday while the weather’s still playing nice!
🎟️ Tickets available at the Back O’ Bourke Information & Exhibition Centre, or just head down to the river about 10 minutes before departure and grab yours onboard.
⛴️ November is our last month of sailing for the year — don’t be the one saying “I wish I’d gone!” when she’s docked for the season! 😉

🚗💨 Planning your 2026 road trip? The Darling River Run is where it’s at! 🌅
This iconic outback route hugs the Darling River, winding through red dirt country, wide-open skies, and stories that stick with you long after you’ve left.
✨ Start west! Cruise through Toorale National Park, drop a line in the river, and stay a few nights at Dunlop or Trilby Station – both are packed with outback charm and history.
🌿 Then loop back east! Discover ancient Aboriginal rock art at Gundabooka National Park, pull up at one of the many free campsites, and don’t miss Louth or Rose Isle Farm Stay for a true taste of country hospitality.
🗺️ Why not do the full loop? One week west, one week east – twice the adventure, double the memories.
