Dunlop Station at Louth on the banks of the Darling River in outback New South Wales, is owned by the Chandler family, who have been working to preserve and restore the property to its original state.
The Chandlers welcome you to visit and enjoy this outback station, with camping at the un-powered campsites along the picturesque Darling river.

The property has about 5.5km of Darling River frontage, including long straight stretches and deep bends, backing up from a weir located just upstream from the southern boundary.

Riverbanks are lined by majestic red gums and backed by cowals and billabongs opening onto heavily-grassed alluvial plains.

Flora & fauna galore at Dunlop Station with many different Australian species that come to visit. You can’t get anymore Aussie than a Red Kangaroo beside a river gum tree.

Photographers and Bird Watchers love exploring or sitting at camp with the camera ready.

Fishing in the Darling is a favourite to many with catching a few fish or yabbies!

History:
The history of Dunlop Station is truly amazing, here is just a snippet.

The property, “Dunlop”, is the 881-hectare (2177 acres) homestead block of the former eponymous station which, in its heyday a century ago, sprawled over nearly 400,000 hectares (one million acres).

“Dunlop” would enter the history books as the site of the first full station shearing using the new (and initially controversial) Wolseley machines.

The original 45-stand woolshed – scene of the first full-scale machine shearing of 184,000 sheep in 1888 – was last used for a station shearing in 1993 and stands today as a rich historical relic of the boom years of pastoralism.
