Darling River Run Feedback

Yes you're dead right. I was there last week and the lower 2 lakes are dry as a bone. Obviously time to tweak the wording in this one.
thanks for your feedback - it is easy to sometimes overlook the obvious.

Head out of Menindee towards Wentworth, probably about 50ks and you find a place called Tolarno Station you can camp on the side of the river and last September there was plenty of water for $15 a night....top spot we went there to spend a night and ended up staying four and explored the area, including Broken Hill from there.

Tolarno has plenty of history as well....highly recommended

You read all sorts of misleading information in the advertising just look at the mumbo jumbo about Lake Eyre right now. There is some significant water getting into the system at Menindee and the Darling is flowing again, that is a start.

The lower lakes have been dry for about 5 years now and the water flow through the system is controlled to balance distribution, but the Darling River is certainly flowing heaps stronger than it has for a number of years now. You have missed an opportunity by skipping camping along the river, if we see everything looking great with lush vegetation we can't make comparisons. Silverton will always be great and the evening sunset over Mundy Mundy Plains is special and not to be missed.
