We headed from Innaminka down through the Strzelecki Desert along the Strzelecki Track and towards Cameron Corner which is where the states of SA, QLD and NSW meet. We stopped for lunch at a place called Moomba. No one permanently lives in Moomba but there are a lot of people who are staying there at all times. Moomba is an Oil and Gas field and it provides all sorts of services for their employees but everyone is flown in and out for their various shifts. We found the information we read at the Moomba viewing platform very interesting. Aidan and Cody learnt where oil and gas come from and the fact that the oil and gas mined in Moomba is piped all the way to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra.

It was very exciting arriving at Cameron Corner as we were finally arriving back in NSW!! Although we did have to head back into Queensland first to visit ‘The Corner Store’, which is the road house near Cameron Corner, so that we could top up on fuel. It was here that we were stung with the most expensive fuel on this trip. It was $2.20/litre – we didn’t buy too much!!

After checking out the corner marker where the three states meet we then headed on through the dingo fence gate and into the best state of all – NSW!!! We continued on to the pretty cool looking little town of Tibooburra where we found a campsite just out of town in the Sturt National Park.
