Open to all ideas - The family has 9 days off towards the end of October and live in
Melbourne.
Where to go?
Thinking of
Broken Hill and surrounds - GQ patrol wagon ready for touring.
Toured most of the high country and looking for a new adventure!

Hi. I'd suggest the Flinders: there are some interesting ways to get from
Melbourne to the Flinders and heaps to do while you are there for any family. Search on Flinders in this site for lots of information.
Cheers

Do a loop up through the
Grampians, then the western Vic National Parks including a
camp beside the Murray in Hattah Kulkyne, then north to
Lake Mungo and on the Mutawingie NP and
Broken Hill, then head west to the Flinders for a few days. Lots of variety, great scenery and some interesting driving in such a route.
Cheers,
Val.

That would be a whistle stop tour Val. YOu could do it but you wouldn't see very much of any of the
places.
9 days would be easy to fill just going to
Broken Hill. Maybe stop overnight at Hattah on the way up and come home via Mungo.
While in the
Hill you should check out the RFDS base at the
Airpot, spend some time in a few of the gelleries in town. Pro Hart's, Jack Absalom's and Whites Mineral Art Museum in Doe St are all must see's but there are plenty of others worth a visit.
A day out to
Silverton is also a must. Call into the pub and take the test, the Coin Carvery, the art galleries and the museum are all worth spending time in and you can get a nice meal and coffee at the Cafe up on the
hill.
Add a day out at Mutawingee and you won't get much change out of your 9 days.
