What a load of nonsense. I have been working in
Bourke and
Walgett during this year and there is nothing wrong with either place.
In
Bourke have free camped next to the river in different
places, never found any rubbish around the area.
Bourke has some lovely buildings and interesting things to see.
Brewarrina never really stopped there, so cannot really comment. However I will say, it does not look the best. I did go and have a look at the weir and there was broken glass and rubbish everywhere. Town could do with a serious clean-up.
Walgett is particularly peaceful and again camped at the river and weir, park on the southern side of town, shopped in and walked around the town around probably min 10 days this year.
Wilcannia is lawless and a damn disgrace the state government has let it get that way.
I would suggest you keep your car locked and general prudence to security should be observed. Be friendly with people and treat them as you would like to be treated and suggest you will have no issues.
