Road Trip Thru The Living desert Reserve

By Anton Maverick


If you have travelled out of the city from Broken Hill with Campervan Hire Sydney to go to the Sculpture Symposium, you may very well enjoy staying on a bit longer and explore another area of the Living Desert Reserve. This reserve actually covers about 2400 hectares of attractive country in the Barrier Ranges and has some lovely landscapes. You should potentially plan to spend at least half a day exploring.

The Living Desert Flora and Fauna Sanctuary is also located with the Reserve and comprises a total area of 180 hectares which is encircled by an electric fence which is designed to keep no local predators out of the reserve and preserve the natural integrity o the area. It is for natural, native wildlife only.

Some of the muse for the artwork which is on display in Damaged Hill also comes from this area and the area can be reached by a few walking trails. The walking is simple and comparatively flat so if you go at a time which avoids the heat of the day, it's a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. The light actually does do magical things to the landscape, so enjoy the walking.

There is quite a lot to determine if you take the Sanctuary Cultural Walk Trail, which is around 2.5 kilometres. It's best to take it slow so you don't miss anything because there are lots of Australian wildflowers as well as the Sturt Desert Peas. You will also go via the Arboretum of Australian symptomatic plants in your wanderings. A lot of research and care has gone into developing the refuge as a uniquely preserved area.

Apart from Red Kangaroos and Wallabies, there are also engaging Aboriginal cultural displays which portray ancient culture. There's also some truly fascinating story pole artworks which are far more contemporary of course. If you're artistically inclined, take along your pencils and paint because the area really is extremely pretty and your day will pass all to swiftly.
