Now that
Tobermorey is closed can anyone recommend from experience some
camp spots between
Boulia and Jervois besides the obvious pull over and pitch a tent.
Cheers

One option not far out of
Boulia is Wirrilyerna Station. They have
bush camping on the
Bourke River. Info available at the
Boulia info centre. Do a google and you'll find lots of
feedback. They are also a stop over for coaches plying between
Alice Springs and
Cairns. The
bush camp is about 14km from the
homestead though.

We have camped at the Georgina River which is about 120k's west of
Boulia beside the
bridge. Another spot is Arthur Creek which is around 60 K's to the east of Jervois.

Thoroughly recommend both Wirrilyerna Station and
Arthur River. The permanent
water hole on the
river camp site at Wirrilyerna Station is particularly nice, plus has yabbies and fish. You can borrow yabbie pots at the station
homestead.
