SUMMERTIME AND THE LIVIN’ IS EASY IN OUTBACK NSW
WORDS/PHOTOS TIM STANDEN
Ah, summer: serenity of the open road and touching the edge of the NSW outback, without getting in too deep or too hot. TIGGR’s fi rst trip hits the spot!

Pub or no pub, there’s always life in the desert. We all know that the secret to a great arid region tour lies largely in the timing. I reckon late July would be about right to balance the clearing of any big rain (which closes roads out there very quickly) with the appearance of the desert flowers versus the onset of the high summer heat.
