food supplies around Tibooburra

We just pay at the servo to use the van park facilities, I think the washing machines are coin operated ( never used them myself)
They had a power black out in Tib this morning, took out the whole. Town including Wilcannia and Cobar

If you are coming up from Broken Hill they have tar now all the way bar 20k of it

Grant I drove that route last weekend and sadly it is all but bitumen now

Yes, I agree that Dead Horse Gully is a good place to camp. There are toilets, free barbeques, water (not sure if potable).. Nice walk to do and also the site of old gold mining area is close by to take a wander through.

We used it for a base for a few days, parked our van and did day trips to Cameron Corner, the loop drive through Sturt National park, and to Milparinka and the historic sites near there before continuing on through Warri gate to Innamincka.
Love that country at the cool time of the year and would love to go back!

Suggest you take dried, canned and frozen fruit and vegetables to supplement your fresh supplies as they are in rather limited in Tibooburra.
I recall that there were public showers and toilets in the town, for the cost of a donation to the RFDS, payable at the Hotel across the road. Not sure about washing machines.

Yep a fair analysis
I was talking to one of the Tib locals and she was saying how un isolated they are, she said if they need anything they just pop down to Broken Hill for the day to pick it up hahaha

It is all what you get used to I suppose

btw Alby, was the blackout a result of the high winds?

I didn't hear what caused them in the end, when I was told nobody new the cause at the time but I assume it was related. My mate had to stay in the hotel as it was too windy to tent it and it was like a dust storm
