Menindee to Wilcannia

Go West and you will arrive in one piece.
To the East you will not be able to talk to one another, because as sson as you open your mouth the corrugations will shake your gums out.

Have a nice trip.

Haven't done it on the west side but we found the east to be easy going. Contrary to what Bushfix said we didn't think the road down the east side was too bad. We had a Commodore and a Tarago in our group too.

At the Menindee end there are a couple of concrete bridges and the Commodore buckled a wheel on one of these but he was going a bit hard trying to catch up.

From Menindee go out to Copi Hollow and follow the lakes around to the main regulator. You should be able to cross the river just below the regulator then follow the levee around as far as you can go before dropping down onto the road.

It is a pleasant drive and can be done in as little as a couple of hours if you want.

No need to feel sorry, I have been called worse things.
I was out there last month. Wilcannia to Menindee by west track and return east.
The Police at Wilcannia are advising west at the moment

Thanks all for the replies. Seems that it would be wise to check with police at Wilcannia re condition of east and west road. We just didn't know whether there might be better camp spots on the east than the west. We would like to spend some time camped somewhere. We have already done the Darling River run from Bourke to Wilcannia a couple of years ago but didn't have time to do the run down to Menindee. Now we have all the time in the world to enjoy what's out there

Both ways are interesting I prefer the East only when the road is reasonable and DEFINATELY not after rain. Inquire from the Police when you arrive at Menindee or at the Maidens Pub.
