Closer and more accessible to major cities, the NSW outback is a magnet for caravan roadtrips with the area’s sprawling sand dunes, red sands, rugged beauty, big skies, colourful characters and lack of crowds a perfect recipe for adventure. And to make a roadtrip to far western NSW even more alluring, Out of the Ordinary Outback is offering adventure-seekers a free night at its properties in Broken Hill and Wilcannia.
Caravanners staying at Out of the Ordinary Outback’s billabong-fringing Warrawong on the Darling outback retreat or the dune-nestled Broken Hill Outback Resort, can stay on a site for four nights but just pay for three. Powered sites are available from $40 a night at Warrawong on the Darling beside the iconic Darling River, and $45 a night at Broken Hill Outback Resort, which boasts its own outback pub offering hearty meals and refreshing ales.
Broken Hill boasts character-filled pubs, cafes, hilltop sculptures, art galleries, space observatories, indigenous culture and rugged outback scenery including the wild gorges and ancient rock art of Mutawintji National Park, the ghostly outpost of Silverton and the sweeping beauty and abundant birdlife of Menindee Lakes.
Meanwhile, the Warrawong on the Darling park is near Wilcannia, which was the largest inland port in Australia during the great riverboat era of the mid-19th century.
Snuggled by a classic, desert billabong that would fit perfectly into Banjo Paterson’s famous poem and song, ‘Waltzing Matilda’, and fringing a tranquil and wild stretch of the redgum-lined Darling River, Warrawong on the Darling is a sprawling 688-hectare sanctuary offering a camp kitchen, hot showers and toilets and scenic bushwalking and car trails. The park is perfect for seeing wildlife, a variety of birds, fishing and watching stunning sunsets while huddled around campfires.
