Trip Table

The Darling River section of my 2022 Darling Double adventure

Some key stats and milestones from the trip from my second trip down the Darling River starting from Brewarrina.

I arrived in Wentworth just in time to catch the weekly bus to Broken Hill, so I had to skip finishing the last couple of km so that I could make it in time. I made it with about 5 minutes to spare.

Total time for the Darling River (Culgoa and Barwon confluence) to Wentworth Bridge: 13 days 8 hrs 20 min

This doesn't include the time paddling from Brewarrina that took a tad over 13 hours over two days.

I finished it two days later in well under 15 minutes. Paddling upstream at a leasurely pace took 17 minutes. So ignoring the bus interruption and using the slower upstream paddling time, the trip along the Darling River took 13 days 8 hrs 37 min.
