    Going to be travelling out towards Bourke

    So if you see a Keswick defender 130 pulling camper give us a wave

    Leave in the morning.

    Heading out through Hill end and will be going through places such as Tilpa, Wilcannia etc and then dropping down and following the fringe of Vic to Echuca and then back to Sydeny.

    Been long time since camping (last trip was the cape on 2012)

    Hope the wheels don't fall off!!

    Everyone keep an eye on the break down section hahahha

    If you do get to Bourke, check out the Pie shop on the Main Street. Lamb pies are their speciality. They may just make a good Vanilla Slice as well. Enjoy your holiday.

    Thanks for the warning, I'll avoid the area.

    Enjoy and stay safe.

    Thanks Baz

    I don't actually think we have set on a place down there to camp so this will be awesome. And I know any camp you put us in to will be a good one

    Hi Lou,

    We went out to Bourke just recently (we had a week to get from Brisbane to Glenreagh so we went via Bourke ) and we stayed at a place called Rossmore Station, just this side of Bourke and it was a great place to camp. May not be as much water in the creek now but should still be worth it. Would be starting to get pretty hot out that way now though. The information centre in Bourke has a really interesting walk through three seperate buildings with lots of history stuff.

    Cheers,

    TimJ.
