The Old Government House is a former country residence used by ten early governors of New South Wales between 1800 and 1847, located in Parramatta Park in Parramatta, New South Wales, now a suburb of Sydney. It is considered a property of national and international significance as an archaeological resource. It also serves to demonstrate how the British Empire expanded and Australian society has evolved since 1788.The poor quality of the original Sydney Government House, as well as crime and unsanitary conditions in the growing Sydney settlement convinced successive Governors of the desirability of a rural residence.

Wilcannia to Tilpa, NSW; along the Wilcannia - Bourke Rd

The map shows a gazetted road that looks like any other unsealed road.
We wanted to take a short-cut from Wilcannia to Bourke, trying to save about 160km. It saves distance but saves no time. Driving on the main road via Cobar is a better way to drive.
I tried to find information about the trip because it looks like an interesting drive as it follows the Darling River.
For a cross country drive, there are more interesting roads to travel.
