Where to go for a month

What about a coastal trip all the way around to Ceduna then back as inland as possible taking in Mildura, Broken Hill, Ballarat, Hay Etc. Mt Gambier, Robe Victor harbour, Goolwa, second valley, Pt lincoln, Streaky bay, Smoky Bay, Daven port creek, all worth a bit of a look.

Cheers.

Go up to Lawn Hill National Park above Mt Isa and north east to the gulf country i.e. Burketown, Karumba and then head home. Because you've been as high as Longreach you can travel quicker to there because you've already explored south of there. I took 4 kids to Lawn Hill last year on our Cape York trip and it was an absolute highlight.

A few days at the Gold Coast theme parks to keep the kids happy then onto Fraser Island :-)

Don,
because the weather has been a little unsettled and caused absolute chaos up here, this is a bit of an alternative for you.

You will have to research these areas yourself as it would take to long to answer here.

1. Border Ranges, Tenterfield, Kyogle and Killarney.
2. Bell and the Bunya Mountains.
3. Mundubbera because I like the bottom pub) and on to Cracow.
4. Up to Mt Morgan and have a good look around.
5. out to Rocky and Yeppoon up to Byfield and across to 5 Rocks.
6. Down to Kroombit tops to see Beautiful Betsy then through the back track to Monto and Cania Gorge
7. Out to the coast and Rainbow beach and Fraser Is.
8. Then south and back home.

I have missed so many places that come to mind, just do lots of research. I left out Carnarvon Gorge as it will depend on the weather, it is a must see and will wear out the kids with all the walking. Maybe out to Tambo for the Missus to buy a Tambo Teddy


Where ever you choose to go have a great break.

Planning is overrated

Hi Don,

you should consider having a look around Cameron Corner and Tibooburra.
We went out to Broken Hill via Lake Cargellico, then through Ivanhoe to Menindee Lakes. That's all full of water with wild flowers and greenery everywhere. Plenty of dirt road alternatives too.
From Menindee we went to Broken Hill, Silverton then headed straight northy. You end up running near the Dingo Fence through Hawkers Gate. Plenty of water around but the only place the road was completely covered was near Morabie Station, but we easily got around it. We kept heading to Camerons Corner.
The Sturt NP has some great scenery and Tibooburra is a great little town where you can get everything you need.
Another option is to head to White Cliffs and check it out then explore up to the Corner. Cameron Corner Store can give you up to date info on what roads are open where.
We free camped all the way except a night at Tibooburra Caravan Park. Not too flash but we needed a night out of the bush to tart up and have a night out.
It's a great time to head to many of these outback areas because they are greener than they have been for many years. Stacks of water means everythings alive.
Have fun wherever you go,
Steve.

Thanks a lot for all the replies. I've got enough for the next 5 years.. Fantastic !

Thought I was going to get negative replies regarding my lack of planning but this forum is great & very helpful

Cheers Don
