Outback

Outback NSW is a vast and rugged region that makes up a good chunk of the state. It’s known for its stark landscapes, ancient geology, and rich cultural heritage. There are few places better for a road trip than Outback NSW!

The region boasts several national parks, including Mungo, Kinchega, and Mutawintji, which are popular destinations for hiking, camping, and wildlife watching.
