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.

 

 

 

 

Tibooburra

HOME ATTRACTIONS SERVICES TIBOOBURRA ACCOMMODATION EVENTS
Located  340 kilometres north of Broken Hill, Tibooburra is the essence of an outback town.   Established at the height of the gold rush,  many of the early buildings remain.  The culture of the community reflects Tibooburra's heritage, and it has adapted to meet the needs of modern day visitors.  

Named after the ancient granite tors that surround the village,   the goldfields of the Tibooburra region was originally known as   " The Granites" and formed part of the Albert Goldfields. Gold in Tibooburra was buried beneath deep alluvial muds, and required special techniques to mine.  As elsewhere on the Albert Goldfields, life was tough at "The Granites".

Today, Tibooburra is home to Sturt National Park, New South Wales police, and  the Tibooburra Outback School of the Air. The township has two hotels, motel rooms, cabins and a caravan park and hostel to accommodate visitors. There is a post-office with banking and internet access, supermarket and cafe facilities. The Royal Flying Doctor Service visits each Tuesday for a clinic.

A modern roadhouse and local stores  provide meals and fuel, or undertake vehicle repairs.  For further details see the Services section.

An airstrip is locate at   S29 27.1   E 142 03.5  VAR 8 DE
