Distance Table

Distances and times for the Darling River starting from Goondiwindi

Stores, distances & coordinates below are only approximations from using various maps and online tools, but should be accurate enough for the trip.

Coordinates will generally be at a takeout point or bridge for most locations. Various reports suggest views of some small towns could be obscured by the river banks, so some care needs to be taken while navigating down the river.

The Naomi River should allow you to paddle upstream to get supplies from Walgett, or you can walk along the highway to reach the town.

Cato Creek is an anabranch that rejoins the Bokhara River before rejoining the Barwon River. The full length is just 61.6 km compared to the twister Barwon at 101.6 km, a saving of 40 km. However you miss Brewarrina and it is a 488.7 km leg from Walgett to Buorke. Conditions of the creek, including fences and weirs are unknown. MDBA suggest Cato Creek will start flowing around 25,000 ML/day but quickly checking historical flows I believe this will be closer to around 10,000 ML/day and likely comfitable level at around 15,000 ML/day.

Bomii River is another significant anabranch, clocking in at 234.4 km, a tiny bit shorter (4.3 km) but with many more obstacles and much smaller flow.

Refer to the Barwon and Macintyre River's Distance Table for a more detailed distance table of this section.
