When do you go?
by: Rita

Hi Les,

It is hard to make any predictions about travel times and road conditions. Driving time depends on the conditions, and these can change every day.

From Menindee to Wilcannia is one road on either side of the Darling river. So depending on which road you take it is either 156 or 149 km. Both roads are unsealed but easy to drive in dry conditions.

For the 275km from White Cliffs to the Silver City Hwy via Mutawintji NP travel time is estimated 4 hours 30 minutes. Towing a caravan might go a bit slower.
The direct route north to Tibooburra from White Cliffs is much shorter, only 135 km.

Check the Central Darling website for road conditions before you go. They also have a phone number for 24 hours road report information.

Have a safe trip,
Rita
