Hi
We are heading to Longreach around the end of april in the caravan driving through Hay Hillston Bourke and we are looking for good camping places between Hillston and Longreach for overnight stops.

Regards Ron

Ron, when you get to Longreach, there is a good free camp 5k north of Longreach off to the right off the highway, at the Longreach Fishing and aquatic club. Gets busy, but right on the river. Check it out before setting up camp in town. Basic facilities but very good. Entrance is via what looks like a council gravel quarry.

Fred.

Blackall (between Charleville and Longreach). Lovely town with a fantastic pool.

Ron
Travelled similar route last year, presume leaving Hillston you will be going through Cobar.
Approx 40-45ks south west of Bourke on the right is a truck stop with a large area at the back suitable for an overnight stay, Kidman Way resort at Bourke,
Wyandra at the back of the school, on the banks of the barcoo river at Tambo,
Lloyd Jones Weir south west of Barcaldine and at Longreach the Longreach Waterhole some 5 ks north of town.
Have a good trip, we did.
Cheers
