Starting in Dubbo, we travel to the World Heritage-listed Aboriginal Fish Traps at Brewarrina before overnighting at the award-winning Callubri Station. From Brewarrina, we follow the Darling River through Bourke, Louth, Wilcannia and Menindee, stopping at natural, cultural and historic points of interest along the way. At Menindee, we join an Aboriginal-guided walking tour along the banks of the Menindee Lakes.
Throughout the journey there are plenty of opportunities to experience Australian wildlife and observe the colourful native birdlife of the outback. We also take a side trip to the heritage-listed Silver City of Broken Hill before travelling on to World Heritage-listed Mungo National Park for another guided tour.
Farm stays are an important part of the journey, giving us the opportunity to meet fascinating local people, enjoy fabulous home-cooked meals and gain a genuine insight into life in the Australian outback.
Our journey concludes in Griffith, home to a strong Italian heritage and food culture. We finish with an Italian cooking experience followed by a farewell lunch at Piccolo Family Farm, helping to prepare the meal together and celebrating the end of our journey down the Darling.
