Doing the Darling River Run

Click the highlighted link that has appeared in your post and your question shall have many answers.

Hi Out There:

Might see you 'on the road". My wife and I are also going to travel the Darling River run in September. No start date yet, due to unfinalised social arrangements.

We are leaving from Cessnock and heading to Brewarrina, then south. As is our usual custom, we will spend a few extra days at Menindee/Kinchega. We love it there.

We travel in an 80 Series Landcruiser. No trailer.

Cheers

Hi Outthere,
We just arrived home tonight from doing the Darling river run and Cameron's corner, my suggestions are to camp at Bourke and wills campground at menindee, Tilpa weir, take a days run into Silverton. Have fun. The road was good if you can take a canoe all the better.

We are just back from our run down the Darling 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately rain saw us make it out of Kinchega National Park just in time, however the roads were closed to Pooncarie, so did not get to Mungo.

We stayed at Trilby Station (near Louth) which was fantastic - camped on the river and plenty of firewood for $30 per vehicle.

The campground near Wilga in the paroo darling National park looked good but we didn't have time to stop overnight. No wood fires, but BBQs are provided.

We are keen to get back and fdo the Kinchega and Mungo parts of the trip.

G'day out there

Can also recommend Idalia Station (relatives of Trilby Station), and altho' we didn't stay there, Kinchega NP looked a top spot.

Give Bourke a few days too. There's a mud map available from the Info Centre and it has about 3-4 days of local excursions. A popular CP is at North Bourke - Kidman Cabin and Caravan park or a name close to that.

Have a good trip.

Cheers
John

Thanks for the replies. You have confirmed my thoughts that this is a good idea. Seems to be a good time of year as well.
I did read the link but decided that local knowledge is probably more to the point.

Thanks again.
