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 #Wilcannia Post Office and the very grand postmaster’s residence alongside is more than just a building – it’s a beautiful piece of outback heritage. Built in the 1880s, its striking sandstone architecture stands as a reminder of when Wilcannia was a bustling port town on the Darling River.
Well worth a visit as you wander on the #DarlingRiverRun!
🤔 Interesting fact: Wilcannia was a vital transport hub in the 19th century, functioning as Australia's third-largest inland port for ferrying wool and wheat along the Darling River.

Taught in Wilcannia 1968. Difficult but a wonderful experience!
Good to see Wilcannia’s iconic buildings receiving restorative care. Needs to be more of this around the country.
Have loved visiting over many years. Remember Ion Idriss’s book written in the 50’s I think, when he had to race against time to get across the Darling, before the floods came down from Queensland!

🐑✨ Step back in time at the historic #Kinchega Shearing Shed in Menindee, part of Kinchega National Park on the #DarlingRiverRun.
Once echoing with the sound of 64 shearers working side by side, it tells the story of Australia’s wool industry and the lives of those who lived and worked on the land.
Walk through the shed, explore its weathered timber and corrugated iron, and imagine the hustle of shearing season in full swing.
After a day of exploring, stay a little longer inside the park. 🏕️ Choose from Darling River Campgrounds, with shady sites right on the water’s edge, or the more secluded Emu Lake Campground, where you can wake to bird calls and wide-open skies.
Or stay on-site at the Kinchega Shearers Quarters offering basic accommodation and access to facilities including: toilets, showers, barbecue facilities, kitchen and washing machine.
📍Use the promo code STAY4 to get 20% off bookings for 4 nights or longer. Use STAY7 to get 40% off bookings for 7 nights or longer.
Visit the NSW National Parks website for more info and bookings.

Visited that on trip
My great grandfather was the overseer of the station (as it was a station back then) back in 1915 for 13 years. Very beautiful woodshed! High recommend visiting.
Magnificent old shed <3
