From Lightning Ridge to Broken Hill, Nyngan to the back of Bourke, the rugged natural beauty of Outback NSW has been appreciated for millennia by the region’s Aboriginal inhabitants, and now by travellers from all over the world.

Corner Country straddles New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia at Cameron Corner, the official junction of these three states. Broken Hill and Surrounds, known as the Silver City, is built on the world’s largest silver-lead-zinc mine run by BHP now Australia’s largest Mining Company.

On the banks of the Darling River, the outback of Bourke is a fascinating and exciting inland town. Further Down, Brewarrina depicts a rugged landscape and an ideal introduction to the Outback lifestyle, rich in Aboriginal culture.

Famous for its rare black opal, Lightning Ridge and Surrounds is quite the tourist destination and White Cliffs and Surrounds close by, known for its unique underground accommodation, whilst nearby Cobar and Surrounds has a rich copper and gold mining tradition.

Situated at the confluence of Australia’s two greatest rivers, is Wentworth and Surrounds and tourists will want to make a last stop at Balranald where the oldest human footprints in Australia were recently uncovered.

For adventure, discover and a truly Australian experience, the Outback is the place to go.
