Camping Information?

G'day silvwayne,

Thanks for the contact details, I will give them a call.

I would like to do the trip in mid May. Do you know if there is bush camping where the Warrego meets the Darling?

National park both sides where they meet.
If you are there whilst we are shearing, look us up. Silvia will be cooking & I will be shearing.

G'day Dave,

Looks like some good reading.

Thanks,
Michael.

G'day John,

Thanks for pointing me to your blog. I found it very interesting.

Thanks,
Michael.

G'day Rod,

I like all types of feedback & maybe the west side is a better choice. If there is anyone who can vouch to accuracy or recommend which side to travel I will enjoy your comments.

Thanks,
Michael.

We did the western side 10 days ago and it is no better scenery wise.
The country was quite boring.

Boring?????
Mate, stay home and watch TV !!!

I love that country. There is so much to see. In Feb
We saw a goanna and wedge tail feeding of the same carcass. Camera was in van, so missed a great photo opportunity. Don't expect highways in the bush.

Hi Rod. Just got home today after 2 weeks through western NSW up to Corner country. Part of our trip took us to Menindee. We were only going to stay for a night or 2 but stayed 4. Absolutely beatifull place. We camped alongside Lake Pamamaroo a k or so west of the Burke and Wills campsite. We had our tent 2 meters off the water and just sat and stared at the view while the kids played in the lake. There are loads of spots all long the lake side. Some busy some quiet. We picked our spot for the beach type look and access to toilets at the campsite. Peaceful, quiet and stunning sunsets. Take a trio to Kinchega NP and the old woodshed. The river drive takes you past the homestead ruins. Maidens pub does a steak the size if your plate and the old fella at the info office is a great help.
Don't bother about a stop in Wilcannia. We planned lunch there on the way up yo Whitecliffs but kept driving as there were hordes of groups sitting around drinking and being generally rowdy. We took west side between Menindee and Wilcannia and road was like a freeway. No traffic just smooth ride. Not much to see though.
Have a great trip and if you are not keen on flies take some facial protection!

G'day wombat,

I will Google the places you have given me. Thanks for your feedback.

Michael & Jim - we just got home from some time in Qld and stopped off at Mays Bend (18/04/2013). Due to recent water from rain in Qld some months ago the banks are very muddy.

Just be prepared for some soft mud on the banks of the Darling.
