The Outback NSW towns along the Darling River will welcome you with a style that is all their own; whether stopping for a break or staying a few days to explore the surrounding area. In stark contrast to the fast paced and sometimes impersonal nature of city life, to visit Outback NSW is to experience a more relaxed lifestyle and the locals along the river will allow the visitor to realize that the sense of community prevails in the Outback. Some towns of Outback NSW are large while others are little more than a pub and general store so whether you visit Broken Hill or visit Tilpa Hotel; you can be assured of country hospitality.
Travelling the Darling River presents the visitor with heart-warming communities, wonderful hospitality, character-filled frontier towns, and legendary Outback characters that reinforce the pioneering sprit that opened op this country over a century ago.
Best spot for fishing on the Darling River, looking for an Outback bed, wanting to buy Black Opal, where is Pro Harts Gallery, 5 star accommodations in Broken Hill, where did Charles Sturt travel, learning about Aboriginal history and spirituality, where is the 'Back o Bourke', or when are the Louth Races? These questions will gladly be answered by the locals and will be done in such a way it will be like talking to an old friend. Even if you don't need to know anything, many outback characters will share a story or two with you anyway.
From cosmopolitan Broken Hill with its myriad of galleries, cafes, wide-open streets and lovely historical pubs, to tiny Tilpa set on the banks of magnificent Darling River, you'll love the genuine Outback warmth of the communities of Outback New South Wales.
