Hi Guys we should thinking of heading to s.a for christmas to see the kids before off we go again, currently in Yeppoon thought i would ask you guys the best way down to Brokenhill and if any good parks to stop at on the way though ( or not to stay at)
thanks guys

I don't know if you want to deviate, but Longreach may be a good option if you haven't been there, you may have to backtrack though depending on the way you want to go. Good parks at Barcaldine (Top Tourist), Charleyville ( a couple there) and Kidmans Camp about 7kms north of Bourke (well worth looking around there too, see Fred Hollows grave, visit outback centre, boat ride on Darling River (rear of Kidmans Camp). Cobar has one of the best caravan parks around. I believe Emerald has a nice C/Park too, although we've never been there.

Thanks for all your info guys helped out alot

Check out this Google Maps link for a suggested route.  You can use this as a start and modify it to suit your own schedule.   It includes the above suggestion re Warrumbungles.

A suggested (overnight) caravan park is Possum Park, 20km north of Miles (Kowguran in the above map).  Check it is open at that time of the year.

PS: Most caravanners going from Rocky to Theodore go via the Capricorn/Leichhardt hwy rather than Mt. Morgan.

thanks again jimricho you have done it again mate
all the best to you
Regards Chris & joan

From Rocky I love the trip west to Emerald, south to Springsure, Roma, then Cunnamulla, down to Bourke, Cobar and then east to B/Hill. The Darling River will be the best it's been for years, and there is a lot to see along the way. Around Springsure is the Carnarvon Gorge, Roma is a nice region. I love that country. Lots of choices. I'm heading to SA from Cairns, for Christmas,but I'm going down the middle at this point in time. I've started the cleaning up and packing up after being parked up for two long years, but I'm leaving much healthier than when I arrived. Safe and happy travels whichever way you go. Maybe we could catch up in SA. Check out my PM.

Last time I was there Broken Hill was west of Cobar

Thanks Cruisin Granny thats for info hope you have a good trip down to Sa safe travelling, will look at were you are in S.A hope to catch ya

What did they do with the space that was left over in the dump truck?

 

They took all the people that wanted to go as well.. and both of them took a goat and a camel and a years feed.. Just incase it didnt rain...

Getting back to the topic...... Helena has posted a suggested campsite titled "new camp spot" .... may be relevant to your travels.
