Milparinka

milparinka outback nswHow Outback do you want to go? You drive 296 km north of Broken Hill, 39 km south of Tibooburra and 1,465 km from Sydney to a small turnoff from the Silver City Highway. All around the red dusty soils of Outback New South Wales stretch to the horizon. When gold was discovered in 1880 this became a thriving town but today it is a shadow of its former self. A reminder that only the hardest of human beings can live in such difficult conditions. No visit to Outback New South Wales can really be considered complete without pausing at Milparinka and thinking about the lives of the early settlers.

It’s such a surprise to come across a place like Milparinka where a small group of dedicated locals have adopted a whole-of-town approach to preserving the region’s rich history of exploration and settlement.

Today beautifully restored colonial buildings provide the venue for interpretive and visitor information, while garden-sites combine recreation and learning with hands-on mining displays for children ( and the young at heart).

Don’t drive past! Call in and say hullo to Visiting Volunteers who manage the facilities and share a complimentary coffee or tea with friends.
