The Darling River Run

Welcome to Red Dust on Snow^TM!

The Darling River Run is one of the best and most iconic touring routes through Outback NSW... it is a journey along Australia's most iconic river where you can experience the richness of indigenous history & culture, learn about our pastoral pioneers and their 'life on the land', and experience the laid back nature and country hospitality of the outback towns along the river.

The tour along our longest waterway is not only about travelling along one of our most iconic rivers, but also throughout Outback NSW via the many sidetrips and travel routes.

Whether you seek a 5 star B&B or a shady camp spot along the river, the Darling River Run offers an almost endless choice of travel routes and side-trips to explore.

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, Sturt, and Major Mitchell.

The Darling River Run is one of many touring routes through the Australian outback and can be driven in whole, in part, or with other interconnecting touring routes. That is the beauty of these driving adventure
