Hi all the family and I are heading off o a loop trip from
Sydney to Dubbo-
Bourke-
Wilcannia-
Broken Hill via
White Cliffs-
Mildura via
Pooncarie and Mungo NP finishing with a quick trip back
home can anyone tell me of any must sees while I am out there.
We will be taking 2 weeks to do this is, is this too quick to see much as we have not been out that way yet.
We have seen the
hay plains etc.. before when heading to WA so don't plan to spend too much time coming back from
Mildura.
Cheers for any info guys and anyone else out that way let me know and might be able to catch up for a meet of a few faces

Silverton, not much there but a good walk around...the old court house is good and so is the pub - kids can go in and look at all the mad max stuff, there is also a nice little cafe up the back of the place...yummy scones!
Dubbo - the typical stuff - zoo and jail....
