We are leaving on the 18 May from
Brisbane via
St George we plan to
camp first night around
Cunnamulla then heading down to
Currawinya NP for a few days from there to
Hungerford to
Thargomindah then
camp somewhere along the Cooper for a day or so.Next to
Innamincka and spend a few days from there down to
Cameron Corner spending a few days there. From there we intend to go via
Wanaaring to
Bourke and on to Lighting Ridge for a few days then to
Hebel and
home. What I am after are suggestions on
places to stay and things to see plus anything you my think of. Cheers

Good camping behind the pub at
Eulo, $10 no power, great little town, try the Date farm/ winery/mud bath, bit of fishing on the Paroo river and try a steak sandwich at the pub in
Hungerford.
Cheers Bruce

Hi , Sounds like a good trip, just a thought you may like to stay at
Tibooburra instead , not much to do at Cameron's Corner other than the store and corner post , but a lot to see around
Tibooburra,(
depot glen etc,).
Have fun Cheers Des.

You could call into the Rosehill averies around 60kms west of
St George, they have a
camping area (#725 in Camps 4 Snaps Book).
Detour to
Yowah (#733) and
check out the opal mining there instead of Lightening Ridge.
Cheers Kev

Firstly I reckon you need to slow down a bit ,
Brisbane to
Cunnamulla is too far, enjoy it.
If you do there is a
great camp at the
Show grounds at
WALLUMBILLA that had free
toilets, hot showers and POWER.
Then another
free camp at WHYANDRA with the above and donation for the showers. That was two days to get that far so slow down a bit and enjoy.

I am with M on this - too far in one day, there is so much to see on the way.
Stop and look at the Army Air museum at
Oakey and maybe the
Jondaryan Woolshed divert a little and go to
Charleville, Cosmos Centre, Corones Hotel, Bilby Show (NPWS), in between there is the Big Rig at
Roma.
Please slow down and enjoy and the trip.
Bob

There ia a good
bush camp at Rossmore station(27km east of
Bourke).Wide open spaces ,plenty of fire wood & water.
The owner also has the keys to access Mt. Oxley & it is
well worth the time to travel up the mountain.The owners(Bill & Denise Stalley) can be contacted on 02.68723275.
Enjoy your trip.
