Welcome to Trilby Station on the Darling River

1.     Take a break... stay a while... we want you to experience what is our backyard.  Recapture the spirit of wide, open spaces as you take a peek at our 320,000 acre station with a ‘Mud Map’ in your hand ... throw a line in and fish for Cod or Yellow-belly... boil your yabbies on an open fire and eat them fresh...  grab a Trilby Station bird list, enjoying walking tracks along the river and billabong while observing the 135 identified species on the station (click here for our birdlist or ask Liz for a copy when you arrive) …. Walk with the wildlife …. Smell the bush … canoe the majestic Darling River and billabongs. You’ll be glad you did.

The station is enjoying an exceptional season following above average rainfall in the latter half of 2010 and flooding of the Darling River earlier this year (we were isolated by road for three months!! Mail, stores and of course ourselves had to be air-lifted in/out during that period), making 2011 an excellent time for visitors to explore our Outback NSW, our property, the Darling River Run … seeing it as it hasn’t looked for more than eleven years.

Trilby Station is situated near the village of Louth, 125km south west of Bourke, NSW Australia, on the Darling River Run.

"Quiet walks along the riverbank with only the kangaroos to keep you company, a charming cottage by a fabulous pool, scrumptious country style meals that even my husband found hard to finish completely and many happy conversations with the Murray's. ... all in the midst of the outback. What more could a person want!
T Gledson, Dec 2010.

Liz and Gary want their guests to see, feel, taste, smell and actually experience the Outback. They love their lifestyle and enjoy sharing it with all who make the journey ‘Back O Bourke’.

Their vision is to communicate the story of the land and its people. Sharing the gifts of the New South Wales Outback - from the vast expanse of the Darling River flood plain to the red, sandy soils and ironstone ridges further out, to the unique wildlife, colourful characters, big blue skies and those everlasting stars - handing on a personal experience and a genuine bond for the untouched spirit of the NSW Outback.

Trilby Station is an unforgettable natural and cultural holiday experience, showcasing the icons of the New South Wales Outback in comfort and style with a professional passion. Choose from the fully self contained and newly renovated Overseer’s and Jillaroo’s Cottages, the Shearer’s Bunkhouse, Powered Sites or the Secluded River Campsites…. and ask Liz about her meal packages if you’d like to be indulged.
