Outback NSW
Must do
There are some breathtaking experiences in Outback NSW. Go bush camping by a river in an outback national park or hike through rugged gorge country and see remarkable Aboriginal rock art in a remote cave.
Outback NSW
Harsh but fragile, the rugged natural beauty of Outback NSW has been appreciated for millennia by the region’s Aboriginal inhabitants. Today, you can still admire Aboriginal artworks, some 30,000 years old, at sites in Mutawintji National Park. The remains of Mungo Man and Mungo Woman that date back 40,000 years can be found at Mungo National Park, situated within Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area.
Some of the most remote towns in NSW are here – Lightning Ridge, Broken Hill, White Cliffs and Tibooburra. Some things in the outback are simply unique – the Royal Flying Doctor Base at Broken Hill, underground hotels at White Cliffs and a stunning out door sculpture “symposium”.
