The Darling River Run
Murray-Darling Basin Touring
Welcome to the Darling River Run, an adventure along Australia's longest waterway, the Darling River. You will experience the richness of indigenous history & culture at some of the best National Parks in NSW.
Learn about pastoral pioneers and their 'life on the land' by visiting the iconic Outback NSW farm-stay or experiencing the layback nature and country hospitality of the iconic outback towns along the river.
The Darling River Run is about travelling along one of our most iconic rivers and throughout Outback NSW via the many side trips and travel routes, including the Sturt Touring Route through the Corner Country.
Whether you seek a 5-star B&B or a shady camp spot along the river, the Darling River Run and Outback NSW have it all and an almost endless choice of travel routes and side trips to explore. It is an RVer's paradise!
Like many parts of Outback Australia, the Darling basin is steeped in Indigenous history, spirituality and living culture but was an integral part of early European history and explorative efforts of iconic Australians like Burke & Wills, Charles Sturt, and Major Mitchell.
The Darling River Run can be done in whole or in part; that is the beauty of this driving adventure! Visitors do parts of the Darling River Run en route to or from other parts of Outback NSW and beyond.

Murray-Darling Touring
Covering almost 15% of the total area of Australia, the Murray Darling Basin offers the ultimate country and outback experiences, iconic towns/localities and touring routes. The iconic and well-known Darling River Run is one of many outback touring routes of the region.
Being within two hours drive of 75% of Australia's urban centres that make up our eastern capitals (Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, and Adelaide), as well as our inland cities like Toowoomba, Bendigo, Albury Wodonga, Tamworth, Dubbo, Orange, Wagga Wagga, it provides domestic tourism with a vast array of destinations, experiences, and activities.
The Murray–Darling Basin, the catchment for Australia's most extensive river system with its two main rivers being the Murray River and the Darling River, includes over 77,000 kilometres of rivers and waterways encompassing the states of Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, and South Australia.
The basin covers an area of 1,062,025 km2 (almost 15% of the total area of Australia).
The MDB is a diverse area associated with wool, cotton, wheat, sheep, cattle, dairy, rice, oil-seed, viticulture, as well as horticultural; it accounts for 40% of Australia's farms.
As Australia's most important agricultural region, the Murray Darling Basin produces 30% of Australia's food supply and supports over 30% of Australia's total gross value of agricultural production.
While the Murray Darling Basin is responsible for providing much of the water required for the irrigated sector of agriculture across the region, it is also home to some of the most significant, and culturally relevant, heritage sites in Australia.
Within the Murray-Darling basin, there is an extensive network of waterways that feed the two prime rivers of the region, the Murray and Darling Rivers.
