We stayed 3 nights on this lovely property on The Darling. The accommodation was excellent, comfortable, spotless and dinner each evening was delicious. You must prebook evening meals. The hosts are very welcoming and work hard to ensure you have a great stay. We did a wonderful tour of the property. Very relaxing in a tranquil rustic environment. Recommended!

Strange the tourist visitor info centre is only open three hours a day, from. 9-12md. As I’m sure most tourists arrive later in the day when they drive to Broken Hill. Having said that, the staff were really helpful and informative about the local area and the regional attractions including the Flinders Ranges and Quorn.

Was greeted at the gate warmly and showed inside. Nicely set out gallery displaying some amazing artwork by the late Jack Absalom. Fine opal display also on show. Blown away by the art and obvious talent of Jack. Staff very friendly and helpful. Wish we had come sooner while he was still alive.

A highlight of our trip to outback NSW. Do the guided aboriginal heritage walk (but call beforehand to find out when it's running). In these covid times you're meant to book for camping with national parks - and definitely book in school holiday times. The campground was adequate - lots of firepits, a gas barbq, toilets and supposedly hot showers (we missed the hot water). [Check out the national park website] Around the campground were many bird varieties - pairing up and looking for suitable tree hollows to nest. Within walking distance of the campground are the Homestead Creek Gorge walks. Well worth doing - allow 1/2 a day to full the longer ones. A short drive away is the Mutawintji gorge walk - this involves a 40 minute exposed walk across open plain to the gorge (20 minutes). Worth doing, but in warmer times do it early in the day and take water. Highlight: Do the heritage site tour (run by Mutawintji Eco Tours, $50 per adult) - it doesn't run every day, and the timing was a bit fluid when we were there (just starting up again post covid shutdown) - they come past the campground around 9-9:30 in the morning. Or you can book and travel from Broken Hill. The tour covers how the location was a meeting ground for aboriginal groups from a wide area. There are numerous examples of rock art and engravings, which Keanu (guide) explains. And he identifies many of the plants and their uses. You're mostly out in the open, so wear a hat and take some water. Allow 3-4 hours from the campground return. There are toilets in the visitor centre.
