Free camp spot with no facilities. Turn off on the northern side of the
bridge on the left. Large area but near to road so expect road noise.Just be aware that the Barwon River can be vastly different over time. This region is prone to both flooding and drought. When dry the area is accessible for caravans and 2WD vehicles but conditions during flood times are vastly different.
Check local conditions and weather.The Barwon River flows south-west through a relatively narrow floodplain with a tightly meandering channel and a highly-variable flow pattern and capacity. The highly variable flows in the Barwon–Darling are driven by tributaries carrying water from many catchments of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland, including the Paroo,
Warrego and
Condamine–Balonne rivers in the north and west, and the Moonie, Border Rivers, Gwydir, Namoi, Macquarie–Castlereagh and Bogan rivers to the east and south. Some of these waterways only reach the Barwon–Darling after major floods. The Barwon–Darling region has a semi-arid climate and rainfall is low throughout the year, but peaks in summer, with an annual average of 330 mm.
