Hi everyone
Those that do not follow Facebook and the
Darling River Run Facebook page, they announced today that the full run from
Wentworth all the way through to
Bourke is now open both sides.
This will be long awaited news for those that have wanted to do this great drive but have not be able due to road closures because of flooding.

Hi, I was at
Wilcannia on Thursday and the road from
Wilcannia to
Tilpa was closed when I went thru, it's good to see it has opened.
It's a good run.
I can report that had dozens working on it.
William

We tried to to it twice last year, fist hold up the constant wet weather and then the flooding of the Murray/Darling closed it for even less Niger.
Fingers crossed, this year soon

I put more faith in their Facebook page, they are not going to say it’s open if it’s not.

The Central Daring Shire still lists the
Wilcannia to
Tilpa road on the east bank as closed. I assumed that declaring the Darling Run as open is based on the west road being open. It's certainly true that you can now drive along the Darling from
Bourke to
Pooncarie, but not using that east bank segment.
