Tibooburra
(Preview)
For any body heading out to Tibooburra, the price of diesel is $1.67 and I must say that I was very pleased. Came across from Bourke and the road between Bourke and Waneering is not the best but if you are prepared to slow down then all is good. Some patches of bull dust, some stony areas, some corregation...
