Day 3 / Monday (Wilcannia – Tibooburra, 359km, 223miles)

We got up early and headed out of town to the north. We didn’t have to go far.
About 1km out of town, we found this great layer of fog laying across the landscape, so we decided that that would suffice as our ‘foreground interest’ for the morning.
Having frozen our butts off for an hour, and captured some frames, we headed back into town to grab some breakfast before hitting the road.
After breakky and a shower, we hit the road for White Cliffs.
Once we arrived there and found what a great little spot it was, I was wishing I had skipped Wilcannia altogether and driven the extra 93km!
After spending an hour or so in White Cliffs, we grabbed some sandwiches from the local takeaway for lunch, and hit the road again.
The dirt road from White Cliffs tot he Silver City Highway was actually smoother than the Silver City Highway itself!
We got into Tibooburra (the most north-western town in New South Wales) around 4:30 in the afternoon. We checked into our hotel room, and headed out to check out the area. We found ourselves up on the appropriately-named Sunset Hill, talking to an older couple who were also touring. We stood there together, freezing cold, waiting for a sunset which failed to materialize.
We headed back into town and hit the main bar of the pub (no 18+ rules out here!) for a drink while we waited for the pub’s kitchen to open at 6:30.
After dinner, we hit the sack early ready for another sunrise in the morning.
