Very typically a trip
to the Corner country starts and ends at Broken Hill, a return trip of
about 1175 kilometers. It is best to go in the autumn to spring months
( April to October ) as the summer can become unbearably hot. if you
are not used to it

You will travel through semi arid desert country, which many
regard as the
true outback. Through remote stations along the way until you reach the
border post where New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland meet.
You will see important historic sights, Aboriginal art and some good
wildlife.
Adequate preparation is mandatory. Being self sufficient is as
important, parts of the trip lead through isolated country and you may
not see too many other travelers on the route.
Having departed from Broken Hill your trip will take you up to The Mutawintji
National Park
where you will have the opportunity to take on some walking trails that
start at the Cultural Center in the park and lead to many of the caves
and overhangs that can be found in the area, complete with their faded
Aboriginal paintings, stencils and engravings.
There are adequate camping facilities in the park and you may decide to
stop over here for a day or. Toilet facilities are provided and water
for washing but NO drinking water is available
Then onto White Cliffs. From White Cliffs you travel up to Tibooburra,
having joined the Silver City Highway.
North of Tibooburra you will enter the Sturt National Park.
The park offers plentiful sightings of red and grey kangaroos as well
as wedge tailed eagles.
On the return trip, instead of turning off the Silver City Highway to
go to White Cliffs you will continue down the highway via Packsaddle
Roadhouse to Broken Hill.
