Boreline Road

There have been more recent threads on this - we went that way a couple of years ago - it was in really good condition then, an a lovely scenic drive. We were pulling a windup caravan. Marble Bar was very interesting too - don't miss the Comet Goldmine.

Check out post 20817.

We went in May, and it was quite hot at Marble Bar - i had an overwhelming desire to get wet - but the waterholes at Marble Bar looked a bit yukky. Near Muccan Station, we suddenly came upon the DeGrey river, miraculously flowing across the road. It was shallow - but i jumped into the beautifully refreshing water without even taking my shoes off. While we were there, a couple of "grey nomads", one with caravan, one with campervan, turned along the river on the north side - looked like they knew a prime camping spot. Along the rest of the way, we didn't find anywhere to camp until the end when we got to the bore. While setting up camp our peace was disturbed (i ducked quickly into the van as after my swim i had shed most of my wet clothes) when a group of retirees came - they regularly stopped overnight at the bore on their travels.

Martin, you should have no trouble.

A great stop/camp is a flowing hot bore about 500metres east from the main Pardoo Roadhouse and Sandfire Roadhouse road and 50 metres south of the Boreline road. No shade but great stop.
