Took us 5 attempts over about 6 years to complete the
Darling River run!
Why? RAIN - yes even in summer the road gets closed!
However we did spot a few
places where river access
camp sites are available. Some times it seems like hours between
water sitings though.
Depending on
water level complicated by rain, irrigation draw off etc and even blue/green algae blooms, there were sites near
Pooncarie,
Tilpa,
Louth and between the last two
places where one could get down to the river.
I reckon that I would stay up on the plains level rather than drive down to the
water level though.
That flood plain silt gets real slippery, gluey and down right boggy should a decent shower fall when vehicle is down at the
water level and needs to drive up some steep banks!
North of
Tilpa on the 'west' side there are some properties offering
camping for a fee and some acquaintences were positively impressed by the experiences they had there.
