Bourke is a town in outback New South Wales which is situated on the Darling River. The Tourist Information Centre (info@backobourke.com.au - Phone: 02 6872 1321) can be found on Kidman Way and is located at the Back O' Bourke Exhibition Centre. We did not have a chance to visit this centre when travelling through Bourke but I am told the interactive stories are about life in the Outback, Riverboats, the story of Wool and the history of the area. You can take a cruise on the Darling River, visit a bush pub or just spend the day exploring this iconic outback town. There is a coffee shop beside this centre and they even provide a free kennel to leave your dog for the day while you explore the area.
We stayed at Kidman Camp about seven kilometres out of town, which is a beautiful, quiet spot to spend the night. They have amazing timber cabins and a great pool area plus drive-through powered sites to stay hooked up overnight.
