Nature in Tilpa

There are plenty of things to do around Tilpa in the great outdoors. Bird-watching during the migratory season is popular while enjoying a peaceful picnic by a quiet waterhole along the Darling River is pure outback.

About Tilpa

This small community in Outback NSW is set in semi-arid, dead-flat terrain with red dirt highlights. It’s 130 km north of Wilcannia and well worth a stop along the road that follows the Darling River between Bourke and Wentworth. The highlight is a visit to the century-old Royal Hotel where you can enjoy the hospitality of a real bush pub – and a thirst-quenching drink.

You can go fishing for Murray Cod in the Darling River and boating. Don’t forget to purchase a fishing licence at the Royal Hotel. The region has prolific birdlife and wildlife, making it a great destination for camping, bird-watching and bushwalking.

The Louth Races, held in August, are a spectacular event with all the colour and excitement of a true outback horse-race meeting.
