i am thinking of taking about 10 days to go to The Corner from
melbourne and back via
Wilcannia etc. Would like to do as much
free camping as possible. Can any body give me , any info as to when is the best time to go, where to stop and any other
places of interest along the way. Will probably be travelling alone with family ie one car so possibly won't venture to far off main roads this trip.
Any info greatly appreciated.

Alex,
with 10 days you could do a fantastically unrushed trip via the Flinders and the Strzelecki to
Innamincka, visit
the Dig Tree and then
home via the Strzelecki or
Bore Track to Camerons Corner,
Tibooburra,
Broken Hill or Whitecliffs/
Wilcannia. I had mentioned a similar itinerary to another member about 12 months ago. I'll chase the thread. All of it would be "free camping" outside the $5.00 fee within the
Flinders Ranges Nat. Park.
Cheers Mick.

Hello Alex,
On the way down to
Broken Hill from
Tibooburra, you could travel towards
White Cliffs on a
well-formed gravel road and then turn south to Mutawingee NP.
Camping is in a developed NP
campground, small fee applies, good
toilets, running water, fireplace, electric barbecues, shade, BYO firewood etc. It's a great place to go with kids. Lots of bird and wildlife to be seen.
You can try a variety of walks, some with indigenous
rock art and
cave paintings. The trick is to be there on a Wednesday or Saturday if you want to take part in the tour of the best art galleries. Tristate 4X4 in
Broken Hill could provide you with detailed answers to your questions; they run the tours.
The road to
Broken Hill is
well-formed gravel, some corrugations, but nothing too severe.
I was there last August and I've been there at
Easter; both good times to visit.
Happy travels !
Netnut
