Downham Farm is situated on the banks of the Darling River, fifty kilometres upstream from Wentworth, seventy kilometres north to Pooncarie, and eighty kilometres east to Mungo. The property features three sandbars linked by box and ancient Red Gums, along with a natural billabong and wetland surrounded by magnificent Red Gum forest. Part of the farm includes large red sandhills, where a registered gravesite is located. Downham Farm is rich in historical, ecological, and cultural significance, including early paddle boat mooring and wood harvesting. A hundred-year-old restored homestead and cottage tell the story of the past, complemented by rustic horse stables and a blacksmith shop. The farm is abundant in natural beauty and wildlife. For modern amenities, Downham offers a basketball court, tennis court, and a golf driving range with a country twist. Guests can enjoy day access to the river, a boat ramp, kayaking, fishing, fire cooking (on non-fire-ban days), BBQ areas, birdwatching, walking trails, bike and jogging tracks, self-guided tours, a woodshed, an old telegraph track, an airstrip, a rabbit-proof fence, and our version of Big Red Sandhill. There is also a display of local art and sculptures, along with an on-site art gallery. Summers can be hot, but the weir pool ends at Downham and the natural Darling flows in at the northern boundary, creating an excellent fishing spot and a refreshing dip on a hot day. Guests are advised to be SunSmart, drink plenty of water, and respect native venomous species and the river. Winters are cold at night but glorious during the day. No matter the season, the magic of uninterrupted silence and a sky filled with stars from horizon to horizon is something to behold.
