THE final leg our Corner Country travels sees us track the scenic Paroo River from Eulo in outback Queensland all the way south to Wentworth, where the famous Murray and Darling Rivers meet.
Along the way we cut through the small town of Hungerford on our way to Wanaaring, the Nocoleche Nature Reserve – a famous spot in our Australian heritage – and the Paroo-Darling National Park, before pulling the handbrake on the X-Class convoy at the opal-mining town of White Cliffs. Here we chat to a local expert to learn about the town’s prosperous mining history – we also go underground to try our luck at finding some valuable stones.
Back on the region’s smooth, red outback dust, the next stop is the magical Mutawintji National Park, where we stretch our legs on the park’s famous walking tracks. We then pop into Wilcannia, find a place to set-up camp along the scenic Menindee Lakes, visit the Woolshed in Kinchega National Park, and catch some zees at the majestic Bindara Station; before our Corner Country endeavours wrap up at a water-soaked Wentworth.
