Darlington Point is a small town on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River in the Riverina district of western New South Wales. Located 631 kilometres west of Sydney and 33 kilometres south of Griffith, the township is 4 kilometres from the Sturt Highway, along the Kidman Way. The unique river environment with its beautiful river red gums is a haven for animal and birdlife. Darlington Point was established in 1864 as a river port and crossing on a bend in the Murrumbidgee River where road and river traffic converged. In 1876 the steamer company McCulloch and Co. established a wool receiving store, a general store and erected a small wharf. By 1880 the timber trade was booming with a high demand for railway timber. A lift bridge was built in 1905, joining the communities on either side of the river. The structure was replaced in 1979 by a concrete bridge. Part of the old bridge was reconstructed for the Australian Bicentenary celebrations and can now be found at the entrance to the Darlington Point Caravan Park.Those visiting the town can find short- and long-term parking at Bunyip Hole Reserve Camping Area where a stay limit of 96 hours applies. A dump point and potable water can be found at the Lions Park, cnr Kidman Way & Darlington Street.Darlington Point’s newest attraction is Altina Wildlife Park. The safari park offers horse drawn cart tours and boasts exotic animals such as the American Bison and Himalayan Tahr. Impressive historical buildings include three churches from 1892 and the Shire Hall built in 1922. The Darlington Spring Festival is held on the last Sunday in September.Tourist/Visitor Centre       Darlington Point VIC, 21 Carrington St (inside council chambers), Darlington Point NSWPh: 02 6968 4166mail@murrumbidgeeshire.com.auwww.murrumbidgeeshire.com.auCasual Parking ( Near retail        Stock St, (in front of Figtree Park)Short Term Parking           Darlington Point Caravan ParkOne of the many National Parks along the MarinbridgeLions park Dump Point  Lions Park, cnr Kidman Way & Darlington StPotable Water          Lions Park, cnr Kidman Way & Darlington St, tap next to the toilet block and near BBQHospital        Local ambulance to Griffith Base Hospital, Griffith Base Hospital, Noorebar Ave Griffith, Ph: 02 6969 5555, (38km)Doctors Surgery     27 Carrington St, Ph: 02 6968 4444, Mon 2pm- 5pm, Tues 8am-12pm, Wed closed, Thur 2pm–5pm, Fri 8am-12pmPharmacy     Carrington St, Ph: 02 69 68 4376Supermarket            Bridge Rd, Ph: 02 6968 4243
