We are planning a trip in July 2017 travelling from Cameron's Corner to Bourke via Tibooburra. Has anyone travelled this road recently and know what the conditions are like? What would the expected travel time be? What PSI should I run on? I am travelling in a Mitsubishi Triton - not towing.

While I have no current information, normally if it's not raining, then it's a bunch of nice dirt roads. There's a lot of gibbers on the east side of Tibooburra through the Sturt Stony Desert. You can drive it in a day if you aren't stopping and looking around. I'm referring to the route through Wanaaring.

We will be driving Hungerford-Wanaaring-Tibooburra-Cameron Corner later this week. Should be able to get reception next week to give you a heads up.

The road via fort grey is ok. A little corrugated but not bad at all. We ran 26 psi cold towing the camper. Enjoy your trip.
