Outback holiday retreat, Warrawong on the Darling, has new owners marking a new era for the cabin, van and camping park near Wilcannia, and released savings for summer stays and a free roast dinner on Christmas Day.
Nestled by a pristine billabong on the Darling River and surrounded by sand dunes, far horizons, rugged open spaces, and the big skies of outback NSW, Warrawong on the Darling is now owned by outback tourism business, Dusty Outback Trails, after being sold by Out of the Ordinary Outback.
Easily accessed by sealed highways, the sleepy and remote heritage hamlet of Wilcannia was the largest inland port in Australia during the great riverboat era of the mid-19th century.
Snuggled by a classic, desert billabong that would fit perfectly into Banjo Paterson’s famous poem and song, “Waltzing Matilda”, and fringing a tranquil and wild stretch of the redgum-lined Darling River, Warrawong on the Darling is a sprawling 690-hectare sanctuary offering 21 deluxe, self-contained cabins, 44 pet-friendly, powered sites for caravans and tents, unlimited unpowered sites, a camp kitchen, hot showers and toilets and scenic bushwalking and car trails. There’s also a holiday house that sleeps up to six people
Perfect as a destination or stop for road trippers, Warrawong on the Darling is ideal for seeing wildlife, a variety of birds, fishing, canoeing and watching stunning sunsets beside the river.
