Central Darling Region

Covering a huge slice of western New South Wales around Wilcannia and Menindee, the Central Darling Shire is one of the state’s most sparsely populated areas. Red sand dunes, salt lakes and the sinuous Darling River dominate the landscape, while historic woolsheds and old pastoral stations hint at a prosperous past. The Menindee Lakes, when full, are a paradise for birdlife and recreation; when dry they reveal desolate mudflats. Locals cherish evenings at Kinchega’s historic shearing shed where stories of drovers and shearers are shared, and an old homestead out near the river has convict graffiti on its stone walls that few visitors ever see.
