Lower Darling

Darling River Run - Menindee to Wentworth

The Darling River meets the Murray River at Wentworth and the point where the two meet should be put on any outback travellers list. The river then flows, as the Murray River, into South Australia and onto Lake Alexandrina. The World Heritage listed Willandra Lakes and Mungo National Park are also in the lower Darling region and a short drive from the small town of Pooncarie.

Darling River Run-Menindee to Pooncarie: The Menindee-Pooncarie section of The Darling River Run can be undertaken via west of the Darling River (through Kinchega NP) or the eastern side which is the more direct route.

Pooncarie to Wentworth:

Darling River Run-Pooncarie to Wentworth: This section of the run can be undertaken via the east of the Darling River (which will enable you to visit Lake Mungo and the Mungo National Park) or the western side which affords more access to the river.
