the darling river - trilby station - louth - outback australia

The Darling River as always at its best after the summer rains from southeast Queensland provide a much needed quenching of the river system. Trilby Station. Louth, Outback NSW, Australia.

"a place that loved a drink, a party and a punt.." So wrote Henry Lawson. Louth, beautifully set on the banks of the Darling River is a small service town (Pub, fuel and general store) about 100km downstream from Bourke and 100km upstream from Tilpa. The town was originally established as a service point for the Cobb & Co coaches that serviced outback Australia.

About 20kms downstream on the western side of the river is Trilby Station which is a 5th generation sheep farm (200,000 acres) which holds a special place in pastoral history as it was the first property in the world to use mechanical shears. Trilby Station is a wonderful place to visit and allows the visitor to experience a working sheep station with a wonderful interpretive history. Its location forms a perfect stopover point for the Darling River Run; an outback journey through NSW from Walgett to Wentworth on the Victorian/NSW border.
