Plan on travelling from Cobar to Thargomindah (avoiding all highways and Bourke).

Currently finding conflicting information on fuel availability along the route.

Can any confirm if there is Petrol (not Diesel) available at Hungerford specifically please?

I went thru there in July last year. There is a fuel stop petrol and diesel in one of the 'back' streets. However as it was a Sunday it was closed.

I know you could get fuel at the pub, but just give them a call for your own peace of mind, as things can change without warning.

We had an unintended but enjoyable week at Hungerford last year - trapped by floodwaters on the way to Thargomindah and on to Birdsville.
Yes, there was fuel at the pub then, and it's a good place for a stop-over, with a basic van park over the road behind the tennis courts.
Make sure you call over to the police station, where the friendly policewoman hand feeds a sizeable kangaroo population on the Qld side of the dog fence, including a collection of orphaned joeys - a different approach to community policing !!
Also, there is fuel and a very reasonably priced little supermarket at Wanaaring, 200km south of Hungerford; also worth a stop.
