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.

The Darling River is the third longest river in Australia and is the lifeblood of Outback NSW. Only a small percentage of the Darling’s water comes from within the Western Catchment - the majority of “fresh” enters the system from Queensland rains (rain falling west of the Divide in Queensland). Be sure during your drive that you call in to the Visitor Information Centres in each township and chat with the friendly staff who are knowledgeable on the best vantage points, local attractions, river history and updated road conditions.

Save the Date - The next race day in the outback is the 20th of September. Enngonia Races are happening again this year, just under 100km north of Bourke. Be sure to stop in at Bourke on your way up north or on the way back down. Make sure you book in with us early for an overnight stop-over and enjoy the great hospitality we have on offer.

A picnic amongst the almond blossom - the window of opportunity is very small! And we try to make the most of it!

Special birthday coming up? Family gathering, girls trip? Looking to get away somewhere that is a little off the beaten track but easily accessible?

1hour from Mildura
Under 3hours from Broken Hill
We are situated between Wentworth and Pooncarie (western side of the Darling)!
A well used stopover enroute Flinders Rangers!

Picnic in the almonds are available post blossom too, when the trees have a full canopy of almonds - and shade! 🌳 ☀️ 🍽️

Cook your own meal or hire a chef!
Our Cottage sleeps 6
Glamping sleeps 4
Caravan and camping with communal amenities for up to 20 vans.

And! The Almond Shed is a fabulous event space and able to accommodate small and large guest lists, for private or corporate bookings!

We have plenty of availability for the remainder of the year before we’ll be closing part of the operations early December for a spot of Test cricket, family time and Christmas festivities ahead of scorching heat, crow chasing and harvest! 🧑‍🌾 🚜

Consider adding @outbackalmonds to your list of places to visit!

Sounds great. How long do the blossoms last? We will be down that way mid September.

Check out Outback Almonds near Wentworth for #glamping along the Darling River.

Twilight Cruise –TOMORROW, Friday 22nd August at 6pm
Forecast: Perfect winter’s day, top of 21 degrees.

⚠️ River Update
The Darling is on the rise. Great news for the river, but it means the Jandra Paddle Vessel will soon pause cruising until conditions are safe.

👉That makes tomorrow night the Twilight Cruise to be on. If you’ve been waiting, this is it. Don’t be the one hearing about it afterwards – and cruising on a big river in full flow? That’s pure magic.

🍷BYO drinks, add a nibble box, and watch the Darling deliver a sunset you’ll never forget.

Departs from behind Kidman’s Camp, North Bourke.
