We'll be in
Sydney and
Canberra around June or July or August, and have been toying with the notion of coming
home via Camerons Corner. Never been there before, nows as good a time as any kinda reasoning! We are starting to trip-plan, and today the new issue of the 4by mag arrived in the post with a story about driving
Sydney to Cameron's Corner! So the idea has re-ignited! So while I am busy with the maps calculating routes, fuel consumption, time frames etc.... have any fellow forumites done the Canberra/Camerons trip?? If so, how long?? How much diesel, applicable only if you have a diesel, obviously :-)
Thanks in advance girls and guys!!!

Heya
The trip out to CC is very worthwhile! I'm in
Canberra also, so have basically done the same trip you are planning. In terms of Distance it's not really a big deal - of course that depends on what you call a big day, have kids etc.
Anyhow - when we went through that way we were off on our way elsewhere so didn't dawdle to much (there is plenty to see though, as others have noted).
We left
Canberra, met friends in Dubbo, first night away in
Bourke (big day).
Bourke to
Tibooburra on the second day - roads were good to us.
Tibooburra to CC - easy drive - again, roads were in good nick.
After that we went on to Innaminka,
Birdsville, Central Oz etc etc so can't help with a return loop - but if you are heading back to QLD then some of this might be appealing..
Was in a petrol vehicle then so can't help with diesel.
Cheers
