The Kidman Way links Bourke to Melbourne (938 km), while the Mithcell Highway is the most direct route from Sydney.Bourke is a region that, figuratively, is the demarcation between the outback and the eastern seaboard of Australia. As Harry said, it has some lovely old buildings and a bit of outback history about it. Also thought I would mention that we have had groups of students stay in Bourke and have been made to feel very welcome.Thanks all for your advice - these towns sound intriguing.One other question: what is public transport like between these towns? They’re the stars of the SAFE series, a set of four books containing protective behaviour messages aimed at children 2-6 years old. The Festival of a Thousand Stories is once again with us and this year promises to be one of the best yet. Security? Others found employment on local stations working with stock and found their skill as trackers in high demand. We did not feel unsafe here.In (well, out of) Bourke we stayed in a cabin at the Kidmans Camp caravan park.

By the 1880s Bourke would host a Opened on 4 May 1883, the North Bourke Bridge was designed by J H Daniels and modified in 1895 and 1903 by By 1885 Bourke would be accessible by rail, confirming its position as a major inland transport hub. My strongest advice (this comes straight from the mouth of the local constabulary in the area) is to make sure you have enough petrol to reach the next town and to drive straight through Wilcannia without stopping.You will find either old country hotels (pubs) with reasonable accommodation ($50-$80), or cabins at caravan parks for a bit more. The NSW Government has awarded the $3.7 billion Operations, Trains and Systems contract to Northwest Rapid Transit (NRT).

There might be a requirement to secure your vehicle.It's a bit hard to tell whether KoalasRule is just very bad at sarcasm, or genuinely believes this sort of drivel. They’re the stars of the SAFE series, a set of four books containing protective behaviour messages aimed at children 2-6 years old. Printing. Lonely Planet. We don't hear too many reports of mayhem from these places - certainly not in terms of tourists suffering rape and pillage. The Mateship Country Tour is a must, taking in citrus and grape farms, irrigation, and cotton farms with large water storage. We stayed in the motel behind the BP servo/roadhouse on our way to Broken Hill. Bourke Shire is situated in Western New South Wales. The purpose of the enclosure was due to Mitchell's encounter with local indigenous which was somewhat hostile (unlike that of fellow explorer Charles Sturt). Anything further inland is the 'Back o Bourke', the colloquial term deeply etched in Australian vernacular meaning to be a long way away from anything.But on the contrary, and this is probably what Henry Lawson meant, the further inland you go, the closer you get to the true essence of Australia.The European origins of Bourke can be traced back to 1835 when inland explorer Major Thomas Mitchell built a stockade 35 km downstream from today's Bourke. In the absence of regular public transport, is it feasible to hitchhike?I've been to Bourke and Brewarrina, so will give you my views on these, and spare you my thoughts on Wilcannia, as I have not been there.Brewarrina is, to put it bluntly, a very sad town. A good taste of the NSW outback. Get directions.

No part of this site may be reproduced without our written permission. At night a very large group of Aborigines drink in the main street and violence is common, though usually directed at each other. A large influx of displaced Aboriginal peoples from other areas in the 1940s saw Bourke's indigenous community grow and led to the establishment of a reserve in 1946 by the Aborigines Protection Board. We shopped in the local 'supermarket', and had no trouble even though I accidentally tried to walk away with a local's shopping, much to our mutual embarrassment. In Bourke today, there are 21 recognised indigenous language groups, including Bourke has many schools for preschool children, primary and high school students.

Despite the town of Bourke getting some bad press in the media (it sells stories), Bouke is a safe place to visit. Bourke is ok, as is Brewarrina, but you are taking your life into your hands (literally) by stopping in Wilcannia, let alone visiting.
