On 22 July 2028, the afternoon sky over Outback NSW will fall into darkness as a total solar eclipse passes across the region.
At Trilby Station, near Louth on the Darling River, you can experience this extraordinary event surrounded by the vast landscapes, open skies and silence of the Outback.
Find your own place beneath the Outback sky
Rather than a crowded organised viewing area, guests at Trilby Station will be able to experience the eclipse from vantage points along our Mud Map Drives.
Head out across the floodplains, find a secluded spot on the ironstone ridge, or choose somewhere in between. With 320,000 acres of working sheep station to explore, there is plenty of room to find your own patch of Outback and settle in for the afternoon.
It’s a very different way to experience totality — away from city lights and crowds, surrounded instead by wide-open country and the natural beauty of the Darling River region.
