Did the Darling Run last July North to South. Started off at May’s Bend on the river at Bourke for a few days. Then camped at Louth then Idalia Stn. Tilpa and Wilcannia. Idalia and Trilby are run by brothers but we were pleased with Idalia as it is a lot smaller with grassy sites etc. Check on the roads before you go. Where are you going after Bourke ?.

Just come back from doing Darling River Run ,travelled north from Wentworth to Bourke
east side,Road out of Pooncarrie to Menindee bit rough to start <First 30 kms or so> but after that OK
But I have Out back suspension on Van.Detoured to White Cliffs from Menindee all tar road.
Willacania to Louth ,Tilba OK east side all the way to Bourke,If any rain do not attempt pulling van the black soil would bog up really quickly

Great camp at Pooncarrie ,Burke and Wills camp at Minindee very good as well,by bridge at Louth good overnighter,
Have a good trip
