Thanks to Mike, I am about to set off on a 4WD trip "back 'o Bourke".
It all starts with a drive west to Bourke via Orange, Dubbo and Nyngan.
We view the sites of the port of Bourke (see attached file) before setting off down the track that follows Australia's second longest river. The Darling River currently has some water in it so it seems a good time to check out this major western NSW waterway and some of the small communities that owe their existence to this once mighty river.
Stay tuned for updates on this Blog once our convoy embarks on the journey.
Here is Mike's itinerary:

I'm looking forward to your updates, hopefully complete with GPS/Google integration.
Have a great drive.
Thanx Rose,
Internet coverage may be average out west so there could be long breaks between updates. Will try to use some tech along the way.
The maps are terrific. I hope to see more photos soon
I'm keen to do something similar with the Central Oz trip, and I'm interested to see how your GPS performs out on the Darling (to assist in my buying decision). Please comment if you have any GPS references in your itinerary, or rejected them because they were unnecessary.

Hi Rob,
What a great record of your adventures. I must branch into this method of diarising travels. I'm glad you have returned safely after your documented outback experiences.
Regards to all weary travellers
