Silver City Highway - Cameron Corner area
(Preview)
I have just been over the Silvery City Highway from Broken Hill. There has been no rain recently and the road has recently been graded so it is in good condition. I was told that about 60% is paved and 40% dirt. Stopped briefly at the Packsaddle Roadhouse for morning tea and continued to Milparinka....

I seem to remember from some time back that there were posts about adding rest area waypoints from the Camps books into a GPS. I have searched this site but can't find a reference. Googling hasn't got me far either. Can anyone help please?

I find it interesting... this afternoon I checked to see who was online. There were 7 'members' on line (most of whom I had never heard of) - and tonight as I look, none of them contributed. So I was pleased to see who was online tonight...the ones who 'talk'. It's made my day.

Hi Everyone, Thank for the your previous advice. This Forum has proved to be very valuable to Mark and Myself. It has helped us along our journey. We have stayed in about 50/50 Free Camps and Caravan Parks. I never thought I would say this but.... most of the free parks have been better than the paid ones....
