Lightning Ridge Police Bush Safari - Sporting Events
The 2008 trip will mark the 18th year of the Bush Safari Charity Fundraiser and the new committee are celebrating with an adventure to Birdsville and back.
Audacious motorists, families, 4WD enthusiasts and spirited adventure seekers are encouraged to join the Safari, which departs Lightning Ridge on the 28th of September (registration the day before).
The 14 day trip will cover in excess of 3600 kilometres, much of which is unsealed, from Lightning Ridge to Innamincka via historic Eulo and Thargomindah and the famous Dig Tree. From Innamincka the road will lead onto Diamantina Crossing – now better known as Birdsville and further west to Boulia. The Safari will water at the famous Walkabout Creek Hotel in the little town of McKinley and onto Winton via Kynuna. The Waltzing Matilda Centre will be a highlight in Winton as will the Stockman’s’ Hall of Fame in Longreach, on route to Ilfracombe. The trekkers will make their way to Augathella via Isisford and Blackall, the town made famous by shearer Jackie Howe. From Augathella it is all down hill to Bollon and return to Lightning Ridge.
