Hey Guys,
My family & I did this trip back in June - July. When we arrived in
Pooncarie we had to wait @ the pub (bugga) due to unexpected heavy rain fall, we waited until the rain settled as most roads had been closed from
Pooncarie upwards to
Menindee.
We eventually found our
camp site and set up
camp for a couple of weeks. It was about 29th June that the roads had opened (still being cleared by council workers as we drove on). Yes they were damaged by rains but I reckon some of you blokes must have gone up in your Celica's cause in our Prado 120 with trailer and 2 motorbikes, packed with
camping gear in toe, 3 kids & the misses we enjoyed the drive and honestly didnt find the journey that bad. After its not a sealed road so one would expect a few bumps and dips and not to forget the corrugations.. Overall, it was a brilliant trip and look forward to heading that way again.
We did Mungo Nat
Park,
Silverton mines & pub (a must go), we also found lots of interesting things @ Kinchega Nat
Park in
Menindee. There is so much to do heading that way.. we didnt even scratch the surface.. do go. When in
Broken Hill we were so tempted to continue on to Camerons Corner, bugga we were pressed for time... just didnt wana come home.
