We are looking into travelling to old cork station this winter for a few days stay with our 2 Jack Russells, just wondering if anyone has been out that way that can provide some advise/tips of what is out there or what to expect?
Not able to find a great deal of information from tourist information centres etc

Bonnie and I went to old cork a couple of years ago. We travelled down on what the locals call the river road, and come back on the main road.
Plenty of room to camp along the river though, and you can do a little fishing there as well.

A couple of photos for you.

Heading South West from old cork, going down to Diamantina Gates.

Its wonderful country out that way Fatboy.
Old Cork is actually a bush cross roads, you can come from the North via Winton, East, turn off just below Lark Quarry, up from the South through Davenport Downs and from the West turning East below Middleton.
There are old opal mines on the Eastern side but also some rough travel country too.
Great camp spots along the waterhole, just keep your eye on those lively little Jack Russels, the bloody Mulga snakes aren't known for timidity.
The fishing can be good there, we have caught yellowbelly on nothing more sophisticated than bacon rind.
Nothing better than lying in the swag (after a couple of rums) with the acoustic version of Diamantina Drover by Redgum as you gaze at the stars and drift off..zzzzzzzzzzzz. Cool
