In Sturt's Steps follows a route that approximates that   taken by Captain Charles Sturt during his 1844-45 inland
expedition.

Leaving Broken Hill the journey the route can be via Silverton and the road which continues along the western side of the Barrier Range, or it can begin at the old Yanco Glen turn-off on the Silver City Highway and lead over the ranges past Mt Gipps Station linking again with the road to the west.

Continuing northward the journey breaks away to the east soon after Pine View Station, and the site on Floods Creek where Sturt camped for several days.  The expedition travelled north-easterly from this point and our route will link approximately with the direction through Pimpara Lake and Pincally Stations.

The journey continues northwards past Mt Arrowmith and into Milparinka and Depot Glen.

From Depot Glen Sturt's final foray into the interior was actually to the north-west, to Fort Grey, then on to Sturt's Stony Desert.  A number of short expeditions were taken northward past what is now Tibooburra and so this route continues in that direction before turning toward Cameron Corner.
