Heading off from Melb to Innaminka via Broken Hill and then back thru Arkaroola to the Flinders ranges soon. Can anybody tell me if it is worth going via mutawintji Nat park for a one day stop over. Also, when heading north from broken Hill is there a fruit and veg checkpoint like the one near renmark. I don't want to load up with food and then throw the lot in the bin. Thanks in advance. Linz.

No quarantine check point north of the Hill and Mutawinji is worth spending a night.

There is heaps to see in the general vicinity of Broken Hill and I could easily spend a week between the Hill and Camerons Corner.

If heading up that way I would also recommend a look in at Milparinka. The Bore track through Bollards Lagoon is a nice run and saves a bit of time.

Hi Biglinz,
Mutawintja Nat Park has rugged gorges, aboriginal art work and engravings and is brialliant. I've been there three times and if you could spend more time there i don't think you would be disappointed.
Regards from Col.

We stopped at Mootwingie on our way to Innamincka....the land owners offer guided tours of the cave art sites for a red note donation....on our way from there, we took a road through beautiful country that came out at Packsaddle, would thoroughly recommend you do thesame, then fort Gray is a good walk amoungst ruins of original homestead/fill up point for fresh wate, then Milparincka...also, the National Parks in the main street of Tiboburra has an eye opening re-enactment of Sturts expodition...no wonder the aboriginies were throwing spears....
Dig tree round trip is another great drive... enjoy yourself....let us know when you return if one of the "Telecom" (1977) branded phone boothes are still there.

Thanks everybody for the information. We'll definitely detour to Muntawinja, and Milparinka and Bore track were both being considered and are now confirmed. Not long to go now.
