Outback NSW ... Ideas please!

Mootwingee National Park a nice place for a couple of days.

All the best

We've been to that area a few times. Mutawintji National Park is great. Also White Cliffs is interesting (get Jock to take you on a guided tour of his home and around the town).
We're just back from a week in the area. We stayed at Tolarno Station which is about 50km south of Menindee. It is a working sheep & goat station. They are fixing up the shearers' quarters at the moment and you can also stay in the homestead (all meals included). We camped along the river. They have 36km of Darling River frontage with unlimited firewood. It costs $10/night and you can use showers & toilets at the shearers' quarters. Basically you can drive & camp anywhere you like on the property. The managers are nice and the kids were able to play with the baby animals (including an alpacca, kangaroo & lambs).
From Tolarno we did day trips to Mungo National Park and Menindee Lakes. They have a web page tolarnostation.com.au

Mt Wood section of Sturt NP at Tibooburra is worth a look. Good historical collection of sheep station equipment and methods if you're into that sort of thing
Also there is a loop track from Mt wood to the northern part of the park which makes a great 1/2 day trip.

Menindie has never excited me that much but I guess it's a personal thing.

Have a great trip

Thank you for the help up to date, please keep the suggestions coming!

It is a good trip from Bourke to Menindie following the Darling. Along the way you can stop for a drink at Tilpa and Louth. At Menindie Kinchega NP is worth a visit and if you could a bit further south, Mungo NP is great.

Hungerford on the Qld border is another good spot. It would be an interesting drive from Tibooburra up to Noccundra then to Thargomindah down to Hungerford and then to Bourke via Ford's Bridge. You can camp beside the Noccundra waterhole and pay for a shower at the pub. The road from Thargo to Hungerford goes through Currawinya NP which is another spot worth exploring.

You'll have no trouble filling your ten days in at all.

I might have missed it but... where are you travelling from?

We were wondering if there is much between the Silver City Highway & the Dog Fence?
Looks like it would good & relatively remote, we aren't looking to be the essential tourists!

If you're coming from the south I would second Gillian's ideas about Mungo and Menindee. Muntawintji is an awesome place to visit there's an aboriginal tour and a good campsite.

If you've already been to Cameron corner etc, Sturt NP is still a great place to visit.

Don't forget to spend a day or two in Broken Hill. Its a great place for a rest on your trip and full of interesting attractions.

Shaker,

you said you were interested in the dog fence, well, I've read a couple of things that say you can go out to Silverton to the Mundi Mundi plains then head north and follow the station roads up to Brougham Gate, Turley's House and Old Quinyambie. From there up to Hawker Gate and then east to Robbies Waterhole where you either head north again to Hewart Downs and on to Tibooburra or keep going east to Theldarpa and into Depot Glen and Milparinka.

From my last trip out that way....on the Darling Run
for the touristy stuff...
Jock's mine tour and the Solar Power Station tour in White Cliffs.
Daydream Mine tour out towards Silverton is amazing
The Living Desert art exhibit at Broken Hill
The lookout over the Mundi Mundi Plain just out past Silverton is breathtaking......

Trilby Station on the Darling as a formal accomodation for showers and laundry etc

Just be prepared for as little as 2mm of rain to bring the Darling River Run to a halt. The mud out there is treacherous when even slightly damp......have fun
