Toorale National Park

Toorale National Park is a large outback conservation area in far north-west New South Wales, about 80 kilometres southwest of Bourke at the junction of the Warrego and Darling Rivers. Formerly the historic Toorale Station, it was acquired for conservation in 2008 and gazetted in 2010. The park protects extensive floodplains, wetlands and river channels, supports diverse wildlife and birdlife, and preserves pastoral heritage buildings within a jointly managed Aboriginal landscape.

Visitors can expect a remote outback floodplain landscape where the Warrego and Darling Rivers meet, with wide wetlands, river red gum-lined channels, and open plains. The park offers self-guided driving tours past the historic Toorale Homestead and Woolshed precinct, Darling River campgrounds, birdwatching hides, fishing and kayaking spots, and interpretive signage about pastoral history and Kurnu-Baakandji cultural heritage. Facilities are basic and roads are mostly unsealed.
