outback NSW

Tony ,
What is your mode of transport ? Will you be camping ?
Willie .

Catch the train to Broken Hill, and go on tours from there. Plenty to see/do and an easy taste of the NSW outback without having to break the bank if a first time view.

7 days is not a lot of time, but you could consider Kinchega and Mungo National Parks close to Broken Hill. To make it a memorable trip stay in the shearers quarters at both locations. You will need to book through NPWS. Menindee lakes should have some water in it now.

I have done this trip a couple of times and every time it is different. Depending on time you could also visit Silverton.

Given the rain we have had check to see if the roads to the Parks are open.

That's a bloody big area. Where are you starting from? What are your interests eg history, scenic, etc? What are you driving? Do you prefer to take it easy or go like a bat out of hell and see as much as possible? Mate - we need a bit more info.

Tony, have a look around on this site.

Don't know where you are starting from, but Broken Hill is closer to Melbourne than Sydney. 800 from Melbourne, nearly 1200 from Sydney.

Mungo is only just over 100kms from Mildura, and the last time I was there the shearers quarters had burnt down.

Tony,

The Darling River Run or Kidman Way would be a couple of options I'd look at.

we did a 2 weeker from Sydney passing thru orange, parkes, condo, hillston, ivanoe, menindee, broken hill (hi Dave.B), mutawintji np, tibooburra, cam. corner, white cliffs, wilcannia, cobar, nyngan, dubbo.

it was great. so for 1 week, do a loop to Broken Hill and back.

as the roads are all pretty good, you could even just look at a map and look for your own loop; you won't run out of interesting places to see.

A wonderful region and a great time to be going - I have been out there 3 times this year.. and so much of it is so alive - lakes, rivers, etc.

Heading to Wilcannia and White Cliffs on monday - so will be good.

Here are a couple of websites that may help.
