Many will be familiar with this "town from the past" situated in the
Corner Country.
I am just back from a three-week stint as volunteer Information Person / Caretaker at the
Milparinka visitor information centre.
The centre is run by the
Milparinka Heritage and Tourism Association.
I met many people during my stay, and most people who visited the centre appreciated that the old
sandstone buildings are being preserved and house local history information.
As an observation, it seems many by-pass this gem of a place as they travel from
Broken Hill to
Tibooburra, or vice-versa - but do yourself a favour if you are out that way, stop by and perhaps even spend the night ($10 per vehicle) and enjoy a magnificent sunset from the Albert Hotel with a beverage of your choice.
You can read some more about it in a blog I wrote,
"A golden experience, whispers from the past in the Corner Country".Milparinka - Albert Hotel
