Wilcannia

Located 965 klm north west of Sydney on the banks of the Darling River is the town of Wilcannia.  Whilst it has signs of having once been a thriving community the population now is approximately 600 and many of the buildings are abandoned.

It has a large Aboriginal community, being the traditional home of the Barkindji people

On the Barrier Highway 196 klm from Broken Hill you would likely only stop to refuel.
