Hey Guys,
From Thargo we will be travelling down to
Hungerford - staying hopefully at
Kilcowera Station on the way. Any feedback on
Hungerford? Things to do?
I notice there is a National
park -
Currawinya - near
Hungerford. Any feedback?? Can you
camp here??
Then we will be heading back up to
Eulo - I notice there is a
waterhole on the way back up called Caiwarra - Any feedback??
We are travelling with our 2 year old daughter so frequent stops will be on our to do list!!
Thanks again

yes you can
camp in
Hungerford. The
camp ground is very good with great amenities, good showers and flush
toilets. Just across the road is a very old pub, really worth a visit and the owners are typically country friendly. On some days they serve Bilby burgers but each time I have been there they had sold out yesterday.
Currawinya National park is worth a visit also although I haven't camped there.

We have been in that area a number of times and have camped at a
bore on the
old road to
Thargomindah not far north of
Hungerford. It is
bush camping beside a ground
tank.
Also
bush camping in the
park is very good if you
camp on the river at the old
Caiwarro ruins. The road up the other (eastern side) to
Eulo was very good last year.
Someone recently described the
camping on the Paroo at the
ruins as the best they had had during their trip. There is no firewood to be gathered and you must bring your owned milled timber for a fire. Fishing said to be good.
There is also
Lake Numalla.

Currawinya is worth a visit make sure you visit both the lakes and the
Caiwarro Ruins,take the track across the causeway and follow it to the pump station a you'll find a great
camping spot besides the river,also the shearing shed is good value.

60series - cross the Paroo at the
ruins and then travel north - the pump hole is
sign posted.
