Map of regions

 Lower Darling
The most livable and accessible part of the NSW Outback, strongly influenced by the verge of the Murray and Darling Rivers. This region is popular as a weekend-trip amongst Victorians, often to see Mungo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to the oldest modern human bodies found outside of Africa.
 Northwestern New South Wales
Although not exactly northwestern in the literal sense, general consensus cites this region as northwestern New South Wales. With a strong rural Queensland-like culture, many towns sit on the Great Artesian Basin, a large underground sea – and the main reason why these towns even exist in the first place.
 Far West
Often dubbed as the Wild West, many only consider this part of Outback NSW to be the true Outback. The Far West contains Outback New South Wales' regional centre, Broken Hill, which is one of not just NSW's, but one of Australia's oldest cities. The region mainly thrives due to its large mining industry, but a booming tourism industry is slowly taking over.

If you're a fan of Mad Max, much of it was filmed in this region of New South Wales, particularly around the Silverton area.
