NSW Outback - Part I

NSW Outback - Part I


Kimble and Juice decided to head out into the NSW Outback over the Easter holidays.

Day 1: Sydney, Lithgow, Bathurst, Orange to Dubbo.
Day 2: Dubbo, Bourke
Day 3: Bourke, Wanaaring, Tibooburra, Cameron Corner.



Bourke has a population of 3200 on the Darling river.



The Darling river is Australia's 2nd longest river.
In the early years it was used by paddle steamers to take wool to melbourne.


Towns started get really small the further we went.






After Bourke the roads turned to red sand.
Emus are the most curious birds. they'll come towards you if you stand still.

The last town before Cameron Corner.


Juice got that Namiba feeling. There's just nothing out here.

At last Cameron Corner.
Where is Cameron Corner?
Cameron Corner is where New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia meet
You drive through 3 time zones as you enter each state.





This is the "Dog Fence" the longest fence in the world. It runs for over 5500km
It keeps the dingos out of the various states and away from the cattle stations.
