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.
Please see the latest road report for Friday 1 August. Also please check road conditions for surrounding Shires as this may affect your journey. The road condition map is available on the Council's website.

The current Tilpa Bridge over the River Darling was constructed in 1963 and officially opened on November 20, 1963, replacing an older hand-operated punt that served as the crossing point for many years. Tilpa itself was established in the mid-1870s, initially serving as a key river port for paddle steamers and a vital crossing on the route between the Paroo district and the Sydney market, with a punt operating there since the late 1860s.

At one time the ‘Captain’ of the punt was a Cobar icon and larrikin who went by the name ‘the Sheriff’. Many stories can be told and heard about him
I remmber the punt
We are on our way. Can't wait.

Is it good to travel now in the area
Heading there with 3 caravans in the first week of October. Can’t wait. Hopefully it’s open after all this rain we are getting. Any tips on things to see and visit would be great.
