Kinchega National Park
I had a very brief visit to Kinchega National Park on the weekend of 7th and 8th of May 2016.
It was my first visit to the Park. While it was great to see the historic woolshed where my grandmother worked as shearers cook, it was disturbing to see the dry Menindee Lakes. The Darling River has all but stopped flowing and the whole lakes system is bone dry. More on that to come in another upload.
Am South Australian born and bred and love where I live!
I'm a photographer who gets out to see as much as there is to see, as often as I can.

Beckers Mutawintji
For 40,000 years Mutawintji Gorge, with its reliable water sources, has been a gathering place for widely scattered aboriginal tribes. Burke and Wills passed by briefly but the area was visited more thoroughly by their relief party that included the German artist Ludwig Becker.

Main Weir Campsite - Menindee Lakes
Located about 15km out of Menindee, this camp site doesn't have much to offer except for toilets. The river is not kid safe.
Have a look at
Darling River NP Campsite - Menindee
Is located in the Kichega National Park at Menindee.
Campsites are located along the Darling River, some are good and others not so good. The River was very low in November 2013 and is definitely not kid safe. Fees apply for dailing visits and camping.
Have a look at
Peery Lake - Paroo-Darling National Park
The beautiful Peery Lake in Paroo-Darling National Park. We drove here from White Cliffs early in 2012. As you can see there was a lot of water and vegetation and even though the video does not show it there was an abundance of birdlife on and around the lakes. A truly stunning place and worth the drive.

Mallet's Road trip to Menindee, Ep 9
Because Mallet didn't get to go with his family to Europe, It's Just Like Whack Productions has been kind enough to give him a free trip to Menindee!! When there Mallet will document his adventures and activities around the area.
I wonder what he'll get up to...

Outback NSW, New South Wales
Outback NSW provides a unique Australian experience that brings the visitor in contact with the ancient and spectacular landscape of the Outback. Discover a network of rivers and lakes, astonishing wildlife and meet the Aussie characters who are the spirit of this red land.
Here you'll find rugged beauty, vivid red earth, bright blue skies, endless horizons and prolific native wildlife. Of equal interest are the mining towns of Broken Hill, Cobar, Silverton and White Cliffs
The desert habitat favours many animal and plant species: a mob of big red kangaroos moving across the setting sun at Sturt National Park, a flock of ibis rising from the Menindee Lakes and emus racing across the Mundi Mundi Plains. It's little wonder that art galleries and bush artists abound out here.
Follow the Darling River for a touring adventure from Brewarrina or Bourke to Wentworth where the Darling meets the Murray.
To experience 'the real Australia' try a spot of Outback camping. Sleeping under a blanket of stars is a magical experience. Or experience the underground life at White Cliffs.
Mungo National Park is famous for its Walls of China dunescape, while Mutawintji Historical Site contains one of the best collections of Aboriginal art in New South Wales. Kinchega National Park is an area of glittering lakes and historical interests.
Outback NSW is one of those rare experiences that taps into the very essence of the Australian heritage. A journey here will not only fill your photo album but, more importantly, touch your soul.
Please take me to Australia - find photos, videos, accommodation, sightseeing, tours, car rentals, package holidays and attractions around Australia. A total solution for your holiday, vacation or travel plans.
