Darling River Run

Set within the heart of outback NSW, the Darling River Run is a fascinating trek that takes you back through time. This route follows the meandering Darling River,

The Darling River is one of the outback's most famous rivers. Starting near Bourke in central NSW and draining into the Murray in Victoria the Darling River Run snakes itself through black soil

G'Day All,
Here's a short video of our stay at Trilby Station during a recent trip down the Darling River from Bourke to Wentworth. This is just part 3 of a 10 part series. So there's more to come over the next few weeks.
This was a terrific stay & thought I should share it.
Hope you enjoy
Paul & Michelle

Flashiest shearers quarters I've ever seen, I suppose that's one way to get good shearers to come back. Thank you for creating and sharing these productions Paul & Michelle

Yeah!
Reckon they have it pretty good these days, although it would be a tough job, I certainly couldn't do it for a living!
The shearing shed was pretty flash too, those floorboards were merbau I think. Beautiful finish on them.
Cheers
Paul

G'Day Paul and Michelle,
I love watching your videos.
We were there 2 weeks ago and by the looks of the river height in your video it was after your visit.
The river was rising by about a foot a day.
We can highly recommend Trilby Station and the mud map tours.
William and Anita.

Hi William
Thanks for your comments.
Yes ! The Darling does look a lot higher in your videos.
We were there late March / early April, Not sure of the actual date.
We have a Mud Map Drive video coming out today on our channel. I'll post on the forum when it's up
Cheers

Looks a lot nicer then when we were there in the height of the drought, there wasn’t a stitch of vegetation on the ground and you could walk across the river in places. We thought about changing that trip to another location, but decided to support the struggling businesses instead...was a great trip none the less

Hi Rumpig
Yeah, l reckon we were lucky as we were there a week after the roads started to open from recent rains.
I know it does look a lot different in drought, this was my second trip there and have seen the Darling very low before
Cheers
Paul
