Outback NSW Trip

Most rural placed that are being hit by drought welcome tourists as it keeps the struggling businesses afloat, as locals have very little money to spend.

Yes! Visit the country and the outback! Support the country people and their businesses.
Just be aware...it can be pretty warm at Mungo in April. Used to live a few hours east and we had 40 degrees on April 1 one year (we didn't appreciate the joke). It can still be mid to high 30s...
Have a lovely trip.

As others have said, it is a good idea to spend your money in the country side, drought or no drought they can do with some help. Any money spent west of the Great Divide is welcomed, but more so in a drought as everybody is struggling.

We stayed at Willow bend Caravan Park in Wentworth where the Darling meets the Murray when we visited Mungo. Wentworth is a nice friendly little town with nearly everything you could want and is one of our favourite places to stay. Been there several times now. Plenty of water there and not over priced at around $28 ish a night

There are a few things to see in around Wentworth and the run out to Mungo is about half tar and the rest good gravel when we were there back in April. It is a full day from Wentorth to Mungo and back with a lot of driving.

Not a lot to see out at Mungo and they would be having water issues I guess, being so far from the Darling and in drought. Don't let that stop you from visiting if you want to go there. Camping will be a bit of a dry time of it though.

Cheers, Bruce.

Yes, yes, please visit, it's always interesting dry or not, gives a different perspective. And the country people are always welcoming. You might like to check out Outback Beds too. Cheers Toni

The most important thing is to fill your water at large towns that have good river supplies. Then conserve your water and make it last till the next plentiful supply.
