Perry Sand Hills, Wentworth NSW
A very short drive from our Elddis base at Mildura we ventured out to the famous Perry Sandhills. On the edge of the flood plain that includes Thegoa Lagoon are these ancient sandhills and they include Aboriginal cultural heritage areas. The sandhills’ unique features have have led them to be used as a backdrop in many films and television shows.
According to geologists, the Perry Sandhills originated after an ice age (40,000 years ago) and are formed by wind erosion over thousands of years. The dunes are a unique land formation of 400 acres of continuously shifting sand dunes.
Skeleton remains of giant mega-fauna (kangaroos, lions, emus and wombats) have been found there. Replicas of these animals can be seen at the Pioneer Museum in Wentworth, which is well worth a visit. Aboriginal tribes used this area to camp and hunt. Evidence of this is still being uncovered as the sands drift.
If its hot weather its even hotter in the middle of the Perry Sandhills, and stand by for flies… but its well worth a visit… get a ‘Sahara’esque’ taste. Formed 40,000 years ago but why.. they are such an odd find and to think they are continually on the move, most interesting.

PERRY SANDHILLS
What an epic morning exploring this beautiful piece of history in Wentworth NSW. These sandhills have been around for more than 50 thousand years and were formed when the Darling and Murray rivers flow dropped and sand from the exposed river beds blew into the dunes.
There is an amazing River Red Gum Tree known as 'God Tree' within these dunes (many hundreds of years old) and now the dunes have covered the trunk of the tree by about 4-5 metres so your able to stand in the canopy of the tree which is awesome.
The kids (and us ????) loved running up the dunes and sliding down on the cardboard. Was such a fun day and a must do if passing through the area!!!
If you do visit and slide down the dunes on cardboard or a board of some sort please take it with you. Unfortunately there was so much rubbish there left from others, we did a clean up but it's not hard to take your rubbish with You!

My Curiosity Took Me To PERRY SANDHILLS, Wentworth, NSW
Here's a one minute clip of our first stop to the NSW Outback, the Perry Sandhills.
The travel from Melbourne was supposed to take 6,5 hours. However due to an unexpected stop to do some astro photography, we got to Perry Sandhills 9 hours after, at 4am.
After a quick nap in the car, kinda lucky that we didn't miss the sunrise.
Woot woot!!!

Old Wentworth Gaol, Wentworth Australia ( Full version )
For a small entry fee you can walk through the Old Wentworth Gaol and into the cells. The walls of the cells were thick, the windows small which gives you a very claustrophobic feeling.
There are historical photos and bits and pieces to see as you walk through the kitchen, male cells, female cells, hospital area and workshop.
The small single storey brick gaol with bluestone trim was designed by colonial architect James Barnet and built between 1879 and 1881. The bricks were made on-site from the local clay and the bluestone was transported from Malmsbury, Victoria.
The Goal closed in 1928. Wentworth Gaol was temporarily re-used in 1962 when there were riots in Mildura.

G'day Beautiful Tube of U'ers.
Today we take a look around Wentworth and her surrounding points of interest. She's a windy day in some spots so bare with us.
I found this little town and her history fascinating, not to mention the engineering around the river junction and her locks.
Lastly we come across a very groovy two man duck punt at Willow Bend Caravan and Camp site. Enjoy!
