Join the 2027 Drover’s Run 4WD Outback Adventure for the journey of a lifetime. Explore some of the most iconic destinations in outback Australia while raising funds for the Northern NSW Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. 

Starting in Nyngan on Friday 6th August 2027 for a meet and greet and catch-up dinner before heading off the next morning. Over the next nine days you will cover over 3,400kms through north-western NSW, the stunning Channel Country of Queensland including returning to the outstanding Charlotte Plains, and for the first time we stay overnight at the famous Betoota Hotel before making our way to our final night destination in Baradine. 

Day one, from Nyngan we head north through the Macquarie Marshes and then west to our first night atop the stunning Mt Oxley. From there we visit Bourke on the banks of the Darling River and then follow the Culgoa River before arriving at the hot artesian spas at Charlotte Plains east of Cunnamulla. Continuing north we wind our way along gravel roads to Charleville, and head further north to the fantastic Scrubby Creek Recreation Reserve. Continuing north the next day towards Blackall, we then swing west, passing through town of Isisford on the banks of the Barcoo and onto the next destination of Stonehenge where the numbers of Drover's on the trip will probably be greater than the population of the town. 

Some iconic destinations the following day, firstly we pass through the Channel Country town of Jundah, then a lunch break in Windorah, famous for the Yabbie Races just before the Birdsville Races. Then onto the Pub without a town, Betoota where the old pub which was closed for many years has been restored to its former glory. We back-track a short way and then head south along the beautiful scenery of the Arabury Rd and make our way to one of our favourite stops over the years, the sandstone Noccundra Hotel on the banks of the Wilson River. 

We start the long trip home on the bitumen to start with, stopping at Thargomindah firstly and then onto the border town of Hungerford, and then to Enngonia where we'll camp at the Racecourse and spend the night with the local Progress Association.

The last day we head down the backroads to Brewarrina and then snake our way to Carinda and onto our last night in Baradine. 

Sounds like a lot in nine days, but by the end you will have experienced so much of what is great about the Outback, in an escorted adventure, with wonderful people. This is a trip of a lifetime so don't miss out.
