Trilby Station
A beaut Farmstay on the Darling River, 25km from Louth. Camping, bunkhouse and cottage accommodation
Roads are open the full length of the Darling River Run. There had been rain south of Wilcannia, closing that section for a few days, but all good now.

Easter on the Darling River. Louth is a short 20 minute drive and they’ve got so much planned. There’s a fishing comp, seafood raffles and seafood buffet on Good Friday as well as meat and seafood raffles on Saturday ( with live music) and Sunday night. We’ve got some beaut river campsites, powered sites and twin share rooms in the Shearer’s Bunkhouse here at Trilby Station too … so give us a call to save yourself a space ok. Slow down and enjoy the journey, fueling up at each town you pass through so you’re not putting pressure on any one of them.

Along the Darling River here the Little Pied Cormorant ( or maybe it’s a female Australian Darter, I’m not much of a bird-watcher!) is actually one of the most common waterbirds you’ll see. They’re great fish hunters too, often perching on branches over the river. Thanks Johnny McAuliffe for this very cute pic!
And by the way … there will be NO flooding along the Darling River! I’m reading so many posts on different sites frequented by caravanners etc where there’s talk about all the water from up north causing flooding. It heads to Lake Eyre, a totally different river system! If roads are closed along the Darling River Run it’s due to local rain, not flooding, and they reopen as soon as they dry.
We’re OPEN and looking forward to welcoming travelers to our neck of the woods.

Out and about while on the feed run (thanks Lil for the pic) … an Australian Bustard. One of Australia’s largest birds, they stand about 1 metre tall and can weigh up to around 10kg. It’s a few years since we’ve spotted one on the station. There’s a few Brolga around now too.

Who sang the lyrics “slow down … you’re moving too fast”? Was it Simon and Garfunkel?
Now is the perfect time (and excuse) to slow your travels down … so less driving/fuel … taking it easy! Really enjoy the towns, villages and Farmstays as you slowly meander till this crisis is over.
