FREEDOM CAMP OF THE MONTH
If you are wanting to free-camp between Winton and Longreach , Qld , Darr River is our pick .
Make sure you have a loo on board because there are no facilities at all here , just fire-pits and rubbish bins .
Heatley chose a site overlooking the river , and as it was a Sunday afternoon we put the tools away ( well , the tech ) and settled down with a book to enjoy the river and birdlife .
Although it was busy , sites are quite well spaced out , so it was very private – just us and the river view !
Look for the clearings on the east of the river , both sides of the highway . There are more sites on the northern side , all the way to the turnaround area before the railway line .
This site is located 32km northwest of Longreach and we were booked the day after our arrival to visit the Stockman ’ s Hall of Fame .
As always , please leave no trace .
