I think we did it in a few hours or half a day, including walking around by the bend in the river and around Louth. If it rained it might be slippery - if it ever rains there. You can go either side of the river. Pleasant drive.

We just got back tonight & did from Wilcannia to Louth, most has just been graded, towed the CT at around 80kmh.

Ahh that's what I like, people who tell me what I want to hear.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Cackles,
You may want to also while you are in the area stop off at Menindee, great place around that way, my brother in law was the local copper there for a while and we used to get out there about three times a year, if your wife likes to photograph the lakes around Menindee are gorgeous subject to shoot at sunset and sunrise, I should know I am a photographer myself. There is the Maidens Hotel or the caravan park to stay in, I may be bias but its a great place out there to explore.The locals around that way are usually pretty good as there is no lock up at Menindee, closest lock up is 110km away at Broken Hill, the threat from the local Police of driving them that far away and they have to get themselves back to town is usually enough to settle most problems.
Wilcannia is a place that I would certainly give a wide birth to.
Thanks, Ben.

Lived in Menindee for 35 years until 1997. Great place to grow up. Good camping spots on the western side of the river between Menindee and the Main Weir. Not much water in Menindee Lakes but plenty in Pamamaroo and Wetherall. Camping at the Main Weir on on the lake are good also. Wouldn't bother camping at the NP. Most of the properties on either side of the river from Wilcannia to Menindee will allow campers and some good spots. Local police are good but still strict. Broken Hill police regularly make a trip to catch the unawares. Brothers own the servo and transport in town. Happy to pass on any more info if you need it.

thanks for the info folks, although I have now found out that we will be going to bathurst for the race.
I will be making many trips to that area over the years so your info is still valued.

so now, anyone know bout the bridle track?
