Any recent info on access and camping in Danggali CP would be appreciated.
We are thinking of going though this park on our way to Warraweena.

Thanks.

Been a couple of years since we camped there, but was good bush camping area there then, maybe even more than one now.
All gravel roads usually in reasonable condition.
I think it would make a good alternative to come through that way.
Seeya there

Cheers Pesty

Hi Chris.
We went through Danggali last year. Very easy going & very interesting. Traveling along the Barrier Hwy from Broken Hill, we found that there was no public access on the roads heading south until Yunta. Natmap indicated that there was public access from Cockburn on the Barrier Hwy but we were greeted by a BIG sign saying the opposite. Other access is via the Burra - Silver City Hwy road & south from the Murray river.

Thanks Tony, we are thinking of going from Menindee Lakes through Dannggali and then on to Yunta so the BIG signs will not be a worry I hope....

If you're going to approach from Meinindee, then why not consider going down to Pooncarrie and then head west from there? We've done it a few years ago, but I can't remember all the details.

You have to cross the Silver City Hwy (I think that's it's name...the one that goes between Wentworth and B/Hill) and there is a track that skirts around a sanctuary owned by that conservationist "cat-hat" bloke Walmsley. That then takes you up through a property whose name is is Loch-something. Sorry for the sketchiness of my comments, but doing it that way takes you into Dangalli from the easterly direction.

Good luck and see you there in a couple of weeks

Thanks Roachie,

I know exactly what you mean as I have been looking over the maps for a few days now. I think Walmsley is no longer in the business and Scotia Sanctuary is being run by a new conservation company. The other descriptions are clear to me, thanks.
