Sturt National Park

After three days exploring Outback NSW it feels like traveling as backpackers like we did about ten years ago. This time we have more advanced gear and we get paid for it. We could even put our gear to good use when we helped out a British couple who where stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat tyre.
Meanwhile we passed Currawinya NP which was very nice. The National Park is located near the NSW/QLD border and we found great camp spots near the Paroo River which was of water and fish as well. Unfortunately I did not have my fishing gear with me... but I am here for work anyway.

Spoken to a few locals in Hungerford and Wanaaring we made sure the roads to Sturt NP are all in good conditions we headed to Tibooburra and spent the first night in NSW at a peaceful camping spot in the Sturt NP. The colours of the Outback are stunning and the wildlife is abundant. We have seen ferral pigs, goats, sheep, a fox, heaps of emus with little baby emus and lots of grey and brown kangaroos. It's just breathtaking to see the kangaroos jumping around everywhere in this beautiful scenery.
Yesterday we discovered a new part of road which turned out a short cut. We even stunned some Aussies as we suddenly appeared in front of them although they overtook us earlier on the usual linking road. We had good fun on that hidden track.
Tomorrow will be loaded with more adventures for sure. So long.
