It is so disappointing that an image of the Milparinka Courthouse prior to its restoration in the 1980s has again been used as a promotion for Corner Country, with the caption along the lines of "restored by the community".

For those of you who know and love the buildings in Milparinka, and know the work of the community and its volunteers, I urge you to contact the publishers of the articles and ask that they please check their images carefully before publication.

 

 

 

 

Sturt National Park

HOME ACCOMMODATION ACTIVITIES LOCATION
Sturt National Park is often referred to as "the jewel of the Outback".  Covering 340 000 hectares of semi-desert country, the park is situated in the far western corner of New South Wales.  It is an amalgamation of several former station properties, including Mt Wood, Olive Downs, and Fort Grey.

The park is named after the explorer Sturt who's expeditions through the Corner Country set the stage for the settlement of large areas of inland Australia. 

In the east of the park flood plains dotted with occasional trees give way to small rocky gorges and dry creek beds.  The Olive Downs, or "jump-up" country is where the flat topped mesa rise up to 150 metres above the surrounding plains.  Further west the gibber plains are replaced by the sandhills of the Strezlecki Desert.
