In the far north west of the state near Cameron Corner and the Sturt National Park. Some gold was found here in the 1870s but the returns were slim and the conditions harsh. Hotel, gem fossicking, loose surface roads. Originally named 'The Granites', it was later changed to Tibooburra, a local Aboriginal word for "pile of rocks". Explorer Charles Sturt passed through the area during his Inland Expedition of 1845 and soon pastoralists arrived with sheep and the wool industry began. The Tibooburra Hotel is located on Briscoe Street and is the only two-storey building in town. Ph 08 8091 3310. It has twelve clean and comfortable rooms, each with different bed configurations. All rooms have air-conditioning.
