"Travel in the footsteps of Vincent James Dowling and other early pioneers over 100 years ago discovered this area, known as the “Plains of Promise”- people travelled the track looking for a new life and new opportunities.

The Australian author, Henry Lawson walked from Bourke to Hungerford and back in the hellish summer heat looking for work.
