Holiday, Outback NSW

On My Way Home – Narrandera

Leave a comment

The last pit stop we made on our way back to Sydney on our Winter 2023 trip was at the small, Riverina town of Narrandera. It’s 550km from Sydney and 440km from Mungo (i.e. Almost right in the middle). It’s got a population of some 4,000 people, and seems to like its sport a lot, having numerous and well-kept facilities for a town its size.

But the life-blood of the town and the region is the mighty Murrumbidgee River that runs through the town and irrigates the fields for miles around.

Being that we visited in ‘Sprinter’, we saw some wonderful flowering gums in bloom.

On My Way Home – The Plains

Leave a comment

My goodness, 2025 has just flown by. So, it’s all good time to try and finish posting about the winter 2023 journey, documenting our way home to Sydney from Mungo, in the south-western corner of NSW.

First, we had to escape the ‘Plains’. It took us much of the morning to get to nearest town, of Balranald, through mostly unsealed roads. But, on the other hand, there’s something mesmerising in seeing such flatness, laid out until infinity.
