Touring Routes & Adventures

The Area

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.

Best of all, the MDB is within a two-hour drive of 75% of Australia's population and provides SUV and RV adventurers with a vast array of destinations, experiences, and activities.

The Darling River is regarded by many as our most iconic waterway that connects people, both Indigenous and European. Modern-day travellers who visit iconic Darling River towns like Bourke, Louth and Tilpa come away with an understanding of what the outback is all about; famous Australian poet Henry Lawson certainly did! Slightly off the Darling River are famous opal towns like Lightning Ridge and White Cliffs. Add to that, some of the best NSW National Parks are located in Outback NSW, especially the ethereal Mungo National Park.

Further inland is the Corner Country which spans the boundaries of New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia. Within the NSW region of the Corner Country are legendary towns like Milparinka and Tibooburra and the majestic Sturt National Park. While spanning all three states is the actual 'corner' is home to the outback oasis that is Cameron Corner.
