NSW round trip:)

Hi Toby,

My advise is to google the area your heading to (EO will have heaps of ideas as) and if your going thru Tilpa or Louth spend a night and have a drink at the pub, Bonza people in Gods country.

Cheers Wilko

G'day Toby and kerry,

it's sounds like you won't be camping.

If you are camping there are heaps of choices. If not, I would suggest you work out how far you want to drive each day.

If you have a fair bit of time, from Tamworth head up through Manilla, Barraba, Bingara, Warialda to Moree. That would be a good days drive there are heaps of accommodation at Moree.

From Moree head to Collarenebri and then onto Lightning Ridge. If you have a fourby you can go the backroad from Colli, if not head through to the Castlereagh Hwy and up to LR. You could spend a day or two looking around here because there is so much to see.

Head back to Walgett, then west to Brewarrina and Bourke. Both of these places have plenty of history and you could spend a day looking around Bourke and the Darling River.

From Bourke, head towards Wanaaring and onto Tibooburra. This is a big old dirt road. It's sometimes rough in spots but it's a great drive. Check at Bourke if you're not sure. This is getting into remote area and it would pay to carry extra water and be aware of the range of your fuel tank. Good tyres are a must or you'll be putting your spare to good use. Drop your tyre pressures a bit on the dirt roads but make sure you put them back up when you have to get back to bitumen running.

At Tibooburra check with National Parks, Police or the pubs for road conditions. Tibooburra has two pubs and a motel offering accommodation.
From here you can head off to check out the Sturt NP on the way to Cameron Corner. There are rooms to stay in at Cameron Corner and to stay there would give you a chance to really check out the area and soak up the character of the area and it's people.

Drive back to Tibooburra through the jump up country then head towards Broken Hill. Broken Hill has so much to see and do. Visit the mine , watch the sun set at the sculpture symposium, visit Silverton and go down and old silver mine. There are self guided tours to do and grand old buildings to admire and then there are the art galleries. It's a great town.

While you're out there it would be an idea to pop down to Menindee to see the lakes with heaps of water in them. It's a sight to behold for sure. The roads fro Menindee to Wilcannia or Ivanhoe are a good drive but the roads can be rough. It might be better to backtrack to Broken Hill and then head east through Cobar, Nyngan and Dubbo.

Depending on where you live will determine which way you go from here.

I hope that gives you a few ideas.
If you need any more help, give us a cooee.

Steve
