Tibooburra is 335 km north of Broken Hill, 1504 km north-west of Sydney, 900 km from Adelaide. It seems so isolated and yet it is full of friendliness and activity.
Tibooburra has a pub where some of Australia's most famous artists have painted memorable images on the walls. There is alsos a marvellous Pioneer Park (often with not a blade of grass) with a wonderful sculpture of a full-size 27-foot long whaleboat perched on the top of some poles - a replica of the whaleboat Charles Sturt hauled across inland Australia. And here, on the edge of the huge Sturt National Park which covers 310,634 hectares you can really feel as though you are in the heart of the desert.
You haven't really understood the Australian outback until you visited Tibooburra.
