Currawinya NP

Thanks Kev

I've camped out there a couple of times already but on both occasions we missed out on seeing the birdlife. On the first occasion, the lakes were dry and barren (first time in 15 years we were told) - deceased turtle (shells) and nothing much else to see.

The second time was just after some good rain and the lakes had water in them but access to the lakes was closed. The locals told us that the Ranger was on Long Service Leave and there was no one available to check the road conditions nor open the gate to the lakes.

We're hoping for "third time lucky".

Cheers

Try mid January.
Shearing shed is chokers full of roos, ranger station is a ghost town, both lakes teeming with waders and pelicans. 45 degrees in the hungerford pub though......

We were there last year, great camp on the lagoon, and the drive on the Dowling Track is interesting.
You can also see the ExplorOz sticker on the border gate at Hungerford that was put there by a guy called Sir Kev and Darkie, we have no affiliation with him, lol.

hehehehehe
I was wondering if the sticker was still there. It is probably well faded by now.

Cheers Kev

Nope, the sticker was in good nick when we went through, in fact pud took a photo of it.
Cheers to you and the girls (that includes Sam)

This is the gate we put the sticker on in Sept 2010 :)
