Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1 – Broken Hill to Cameron Corner
Depart Broken Hill through the Barrier Ranges on the Silver City Highway via Packsaddle to Milparinka and the Albert Hotel, and explore the restored Milparinka Heritage Precinct of this once-thriving gold-mining town. After a look around Tibooburra we head into the Sturt Desert, crossing the Grey Range with a stop at Fort Grey, where red sand dunes give way to surprising wetlands. Arrive at Cameron Corner, where NSW, SA and Queensland meet, for a welcome meal and overnight at the Corner Store and hotel.
Day 2 – Strzelecki Track to Innamincka
Travel via Bollards Lagoon, the Yellow Bus and Merty Merty Station, crossing the sand hills of the Strzelecki Desert to the Strzelecki Track and the Moomba oil and gas fields. We pass the Geodynamics “hot rocks” project, where the Cooper Basin holds some of the hottest non-volcanic rocks on Earth. Enjoy the birdlife at sunset on Cooper Creek before dinner at the Innamincka Hotel, beside the restored Australian Inland Mission hospital.
Day 3 – Burke & Wills Dig Tree to Tibooburra
An early walk along the creek, then we cross into Queensland to Nappa Merrie Station and the Burke & Wills Dig Tree. Here the support party waited more than four months before leaving on the very morning Burke and Wills returned – too weak to follow. Heading south through desert and sand hill country via Orientos, Santos and Sullivans Tank, we cross the Dingo Fence at Warri Gate into Sturt National Park, home to large mobs of red and western grey kangaroos. Dinner and overnight in Tibooburra, the most remote town in NSW.
Day 4 – Tibooburra to Broken Hill
Explore Tibooburra and its Outdoor Pastoral Museum, with flat-topped mesas, gidgee woodland and 450-million-year-old granite tors. Visit Poole’s Grave and Depot Glen, where Charles Sturt’s exploring party was stranded in 1845, then travel south via salt lakes and vast plains to arrive in Broken Hill late afternoon.
