We were so impressed with this country town, we doubled our stay to two nights in Walgett NSW! Camped at Alex Trevallion Park – a top freedom camp where we cooked up scones, chatted with other travellers by the “pond”. Showered in new facilities (thank you council), we also could walk to town. This pet friendly camp has two large parking areas and a large grassed area with trees. Plus, our first encounter with black cockatoos on our Darling River Run! Banjo Patterson’s poetry is on a rock here – “Been There Before” mentions “Walgett Town”. The cool coffee/gift shop
