New South Wales - Brewarrina on the Barwon River
Australia So Much to See
We went to the Four Mile Reserve camping area along the Barwon River, six kilometres by road, south east of the town and accessed
from the Tarrion Yarrawin Road (to Carinda), from which it is signed. This peaceful free camping area of twelve hectares stretches
for around 500 metres along the river’s edge, with tracks getting rougher and less accessible the further you go.
While some
campers were set up for longer holidays, for us it was a pleasant overnight stop.
On entry, there is a day area carpark, with
a small jetty and boat launching area on a wide bend of the Barwon River. Two shed-style buildings house toilets and cold showers. This would be a long walk from most of the camping spots.
A lot of caravans and tents were spread through the trees near
the river. River’s edge areas were taken.
