Bourke to Tibooburra Road - Camp spots

If you can get away reasonably early from Bourke, it's an easy days run into Tibooburra. Its a long time since I was on that track but did it easy in a Series 2 landie in a day, even though it had rained.

Giday norm, b4 xmas we went to wa.left here 3.30am arrived Cobar about 6.30pm, no trailer, so we could sit on 110/115 most of the way,if you can share the driving, & you dont have young kids, Bourke should be doable.[You are an hr or so closer than me ] I,ll keep an eye on this thread for c/sites,we,ll be doin the same trip, [a month earlier] good luck..Phil

I did the road in June from Bourke to Tibooburra and it took us all day. But it started raining on us as we left Wanaaring. If it looks like rain, find another way or camp. 200 odd k sideways isn't fun, well it is for the first 10 minutes, but the next 4 hours gets a little tiring. Wanaaring road I am told is generally good, with occasional bull dust holes, but watch out for road trains.
I am told that the camping just out of Bourke on the river is OK, Bourke township isn't the nicest place around though.
We looked at the camp just out of Tibooburra but weren’t keen on spending a few extra days out there as conditions were deteriorating. The cars that came through after us spent 2 days there before they made it into town.
Caravan park in Tibooburra itself is basic, but clean and cheap for tent sites, pay at the Shell servo. Pub on the left heading North through Tibooburra does a good counter meal too.

Hope you have better luck than us. Drove 1200k to spend 3 days in the Tibooburra van park waiting for the roads to dry.

If you can make Bourke the first day, head out through Nth Bourke (over the bridge) and not long after you turn onto the Tibooburra road there is a river camp on the left.

Between Brewarrina and Walgett there are camps on the Barwon, or you can by-pass Bre and camp to the north on the Culgoa River crossing, this road re-joins north of Bourke.
