Hey guys and gals, I'm looking at taking the wife and kids for a run from
orange to Cameron's corner over
Easter, now I'm not sure what way to go, can you go all the way along the
dog fence from
hungerford to the corner or do you have to go into QLD at
Hamilton gate and go through bullo downs and tickalara? Any ideas would be great! Thanks on advance! This will be our first trip away like this and I want everyone to enjoy it

Hi yumpet (and family)
I'm assuming you have a 4x4 and tow a camper.
There is no public roads along the vast majority of the
dog fence - signs advise no access etc. So that leaves you a couple of options to get to Camerons Corner. Up to
Bourke - about 520 k's up the blacktop through Dubbo and
Nyngan. Nice caravan park at
North Bourke - Kidmans
Camp - might be a good idea to contact them to see if sites are available when you arrive. 02 6872 1612.
From there my preferred route is via
Wanaaring and The Cut Line to
Tibooburra - gravel / dirt road from just out of
North Bourke so time to slow down and let the tyre pressures down from h'way pressure - about 420 k's.
The Granites is the only Caravan Park in
Tibooburra - 08 80913477. Once there you can decide if you want to stay in town
our camp out within Sturt NP - a handful of
places to
camp there. We stayed in
Tibooburra for 5 nights and did day trips from there before continuing on to
Innamincka and beyond. There is just so much to see in the area. Take care and enjoy the trip.

Hi again,
Thought this link to the "Corner Country" web page might give you lots to think about.

Yumpet
We travelled out through
White Cliffs last year and then across to
Tibooburra via the Wanaring Rd (250km), towing out caravan and most of that road was in pretty good nick with only three or four washed out sections that had quick fixes done to them. From
Tibooburra we headed out to CC but only got to
Fort Grey, 29km short, as that section was very badly corrugated and we chickened out!
