Dingo Fence From Tibooburra

As for sign post some of it part of Sturt's Steps but that comes out Corona rd not Silverton and it cuts off the only part of the dog fence you actually drive along

Hi Ivan and thanks for the reply.
Our plan was from Tibooburra go to Milparinka, Hawkers gate then down past Pineview Station. McDougalls Well Rd. Silverton. We only have a day and was under the impression it could be done in a day without too much of a rush. Is this realistic ?

Not sure what condition the roads will be in, last time I checked the roadMilparinka - Hawkers gate then south along the fence was open to 4WD only with caution. Waka to Yandama still closed I think. May need a couple of days.

Hi Michael,

We did this track back in 2012. Looking at Ivan’s map, we headed in at Milparinka and Depot Glen heading all the way to the fence. We followed the station roads all the way to Silverton. There are a few station gates that need to be negotiated along the road, some were closed and some were open, none were locked. There are a couple of low lying areas and salt lakes that fill with water very close to the road, so depending on how much rain the area has had, the road may not be passable all the way.

The current on line NSW Live Traffic Map shows the road from Milparinka to the fence is closed, so depending on when you plan to make your trip, it may not be possible. We took 3 days, however we left from Cameron Corner in the morning, going via Tibooburra. We arrived at Silverton mid morning on the third day. Even leaving from Tibooburra, I think you will struggle to do it in a single day.

Macca.

Thanks for the feedback. Live Traffic doesn't paint a good picture. We will be there in about 2 weeks and was relying on local information when we get to Tibooburra then decide. Going through in a day now seems impractical. We have been all over the desert country and avoided rushing until now. Too old to camp and planned to be in BH on the day of travel. Such is life.
We have 3 days at Tibooburra so there is plenty to see then return on the tar.

Thanks again for everyones help.

Cheers

If you leave early morning it is do-able in a day. We have done Tiboburra to Corona rd in a day leaving late and stopping a few times. If you need road info then Packsaddle Roadhouse is you best bet. Now if you need to camp on the way there is a new camp ground near Teita and there is also a Station stay at Eldee. Teita station is new and it isn't marked on Exploreoz but has toilets. It is now a park.

Thanks Ivan,
It's about 2 weeks yet so I will check road conditions at Tibooburra. At the moment track repairs are going on.
Thanks for the Packsaddle tip, we were planning to drop in.

Our situation is camping is off the agenda due to father time. After the Canning, Kimberleys, Cape York, The Simpson, Tassey West Coast etc etc and 77yrs young, we now have little flexibility.

If the news is doable near the time we will go down the fence rather than the boring tar getting away early.

Thanks again

Cheers
