Cobar to Broken Hill via Wilcannia

The road from Cobar to Broken Hill is long (~460km) and mostly straight and punctuated by a few small towns like Wilcannia and Noona. It felt like they threw in a curve every 50 to 80km just to see if you are paying attention.

Cobar to Wilcannia is a 250km section that showcases the red earth of these parts. We saw thousands of goats (perhaps feral), 100 kangaroos (all dead), 50 sheep, a dozen Emu and a dead cow, all along the "long paddock".

The Darling flows through Wilcannia and is currently at 9.4m with some localised flooding. You can see this in the photos.

In 250km we overtook 2 vehicles and were overtaken by the same car twice and that's all the traffic in our direction. Was busier from Wilcannia.

We had a provision shop at Woolworths in Broken Hill before heading to the BH Tourist Park. A very modern shop and well stocked.Baca selengkapnya
