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.
Enjoy
Wayne

I know it's not a long time, we had 2 weeks planned but Stella had to cancel a wek of it due to work commitments. Will speak to NPWS and see about the roads. Thanks for your help.

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.

Moose your right
The
corner country + is a BIG area to travel.
To see it all would take weeks maybe months especially if you get stuck in some of those outback pubs !!

How the hell can you not know where you're starting from. FFS - you can't just materialise somewhere!

I think the others have it covered by now.
BH is a great area but a fair hike from
Sydney - unless you enjoy driving heaps and seeing little you may want to consider something closer.
Have a look at www.visitnsw.com.au and
check out the "Heart of Country" section - not quite outback but a lot closer to
home.
Good luck and have a safe trip.
Cheers from the Moose

Tony, have a look around on this site.
Outback NSW
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.

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.
