Sydney to Broken Hill with a caravan or motorhome
Sydney to Broken Hill runs 1,170 km from Sydney to Broken Hill. With a car and caravan, you're looking at about 18 hours behind the wheel. Our map shows it sealed the whole way.
We planned it on Motocamp's own router for a car and caravan and for a motorhome, at the sizes in the table below, so every number here comes from a real plan, not a guess.
The stops: Sydney · Bathurst · Dubbo · Nyngan · Cobar · Wilcannia · Broken Hill
Is Sydney to Broken Hill OK for a car and caravan?
Yes, on our plan. It gets through for a car and caravan without using a road signed too low, too short or closed to caravans. Here's what to keep an eye on.
- 2 km of it is steeper than 8%. The steepest kilometre is about 10% downhill on Chifley Road, at km 143.
- The longest run with no fuel station on our map is 158 km, from km 713. Fill up before it.
- It keeps you off 16 nearby roads with a signed limit your rig wouldn't clear, like Cowper Wharf Roadway (12 m long), Bignell Lane (7.5 m long) and The Old Road (12 m long).

Tell Motocamp what you drive, from an enduro bike to a 25-foot off-road caravan or a 10-metre motorhome, and it plans this trip for that vehicle: the roads it fits, the low bridges and closed roads to steer clear of, and places to stay on the way. The maps keep working where there's no signal.
