Aboriginal Culture can be traced back at least 45,000 years and within the Outback NSW many Aboriginal ‘groups’ can be identified. Within this region, most of these groups lived along the many water courses that make up the Darling Basin and today they live in the towns of the area; no less connected to the area and its geological features as their forbears.
The loargest indigenous group was Barkindji, whose region stretches from Wentworth all the way along the Darling and up to Wilcannia and Tilpa, although their concentration was traditionally greater in the southern regions of the river. The indigenous name for the river which we now know as the Darling is ‘Barka’ and the Barkindji literally means the people of the Barka (the river).
In the late 1880’s, Wentworth was bustling with river trade as Australia’s busiest inland port. Tourism is strong with attractions including the Mungo National Park and the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area.
