Cameron Corner

Road conditions vary but road north of Broken Hill to Tibooburra is Gravel and may be rough in some places and from Tiboobura to Camerons Corner is a Formed road in reasonable condition
Pop in at Milparinka and have a look on way through

Just drive to the conditions , weather should be mild and UHF would be handy

All signposted well

Enjoy the scenery and say g,day to Bill Mitchell (Store prop) from Mark in Geelong

Malcolm,

The trip to Tib and the corner is very easy.

The Silver City Highway north of Broken Hill to Tib is about 2/3 sealed now. It is well maintained but there are a few spots that regularly catch people out. Like the creek just south of Packsaddle roadhouse. It causes probs mostly for vehicles heading south, it's not overly rough but if it is hit wrong and at speed a rollover is not unusual.

There is lots to see between Tib and Camerons Corner, and a few different roads to take. If you contact National Parks office in Broken Hill they should be able to give you lots of info. You could talk to them about Mutawingee NP at the same time. It is not far out of your way and is worth a visit.

Also I would recommend a day around Milparinka. Take the boys and show them all the historic stuff like Depot Glen etc. You'll be suprised how much they remember. If you have time plan to travel one way via the back roads north of Silverton. At least for some of it. The western side of the mountains is quite different to the estern side. It is interesting and will break up the trip. It is a lot slower though.

As for communications if you have a CDMA in a car kit you should get coverage most of the way from BH to Tib. A UHF would be useful but there will be plenty of traffic, you shouldn't have to wait long if you need help.

I am in Broken Hill, Member Message me if you need anymore help.

Was in the corner last week.
Fort Grey is a good camping area. remember NO camp fire allowed. It will be cold.
Corner is VERY dry at the moment. The country is not looking its best.
With your setup, you should have no problems.

Regards

We stayed at the Caravan Park at Tibooburra and took a day trip out to the corner.

Do the loop road via the jumpup; much more scenic and a better road than the main strip. Its about 150kms, so allow a couple of hours each way - trip notes available from the NP office in Tibooburra.

We went in via Mutawintji NP. If you do that in School Hols check dates for a tour by the locals.

we are palnning to be there in june and have the same problems finding up to date info. I take it by the thread that camping is a no go a the fort. We are planning at this stage to stop at the corner and support the RFDS. Is it possible to do the loop and get to the corner in one day??
