Starting in Dubbo, we travel to the World Heritagelisted Aboriginal Fish Traps at Brewarrina, overnighting at the award-winning Callubri Station. We follow the Darling River, Australia’s longest river system, from Brewarrina to Bourke, Louth, Wilcannia, and Menindee, stopping at a number of natural and historical points of interest along the way, including an Aboriginal guided walking tour along the banks of the Menindee Lakes.
We have plenty of opportunities to get close to Australian wildlife, and there will be an abundance of colourful native birds to observe. The tour takes a side trip to the Heritage-listed Silver City of Broken Hill. Departing Broken Hill, we travel on to the World Heritage Mungo National Park for another guided tour, before ending up in Griffith, home to a very large Italian migrant community.
We travel via a number of farm stays, meeting fascinating people and eating fabulous home-cooked meals, and learn about living in the outback. We finish the tour in Griffith with an Italian cooking day followed by a farewell lunch at Piccolo Family Farm that we help to prepare.
