These towns have been covered in previous posts. One person's experience is not necessarily another's so it leads to disagreements......
The media beats things up, just before i took off on my first big trip west, Dubbo was a nest of fighting youths who assaulted, robbed and pillaged the unwary according to the papers. I raised this on this
forum and "Dodger" contacted me and set me right, putting things into the correct perspective.....
I won't stop in
Wilcannia again but others have stayed there and had no hassles.
I found
Cobar to be a wonderful little town with friendly and rightly proud people. Maybe somebody else hates
Cobar....
The problems that occur in these towns, occur in any town around the country, you just have to stay alert and don't place possessions in a situation where they tempt the dishonest. You safety in any place depends on how alert you are to your surroundings. Same as anywhere you are, even in your own street....
