Drive out to Cameron Corner

Another eerily silent night...so different to Gunderbooker with all the bird and insect noise each night. Made bacon & egg rolls for breaky then headed out to Cameron Corner...named after John Cameron, a NSW Land Dept surveyor who led the first survey in 1879. It was approximately a 230km round trip. It was shaping up to be another 40°C day so was nice to sit in the air-con during the peak of the days heat. Again, only saw a couple of roos and emus on our trip. Visited the famed Corner Store for a nice cold beer and a chat with Kim the publican - a lovely lady who was Outback born and bred and took an obligatory photo with the corner stone where NSW, QLD & SA meet. Drove through a variety of different landscapes. One minute it's brown & rocky dotted with small shrubs, next it's red dirt and clumps of dry grass then it's sandy (almost white) with gum trees and green grass growing everywhere!Read more
