Outback Motor Inn Nyngan. Clean, Compact and Perfect as a Pit Stop

 Travelling from South Coast to the Outback is a 14-hour drive, where I needed a pit stop to refuel, rest and continue on with my journey. 

I have chosen Outback Motor Inn for an overnight stay (great value if you’re on a budget) and chosen this place for two reasons, as it is the midpoint of my travels and I wanted to see the Big Bogan statue. 

To my surprise, the accommodation is across the road from the RSL Bistro and only ten-minute walk to town, which coincidentally, you will find the Big Bogan statue. I found the accommodation compact but unbelievably, all the conveniences were there. 

As a family of four, we fitted quite snug in the one room, including an area to make your tea/coffee and many appliances available (tele, microwave, toaster, ironing board and kettle) within the same room. 

You will also receive complimentary tea, coffee, sugar and a small popper of milk. There are soap/shampoo dispensers in the shower as well. However, being located close to the Barrier Highway, the traffic was continuous throughout the night, very noisy and occasionally you could hear a train whistle when going by. 

I would highly recommend to ask for a room further away from the highway. On top of that, what is with the sheets? Every little move you make, sounds like raincoat noises, very annoying and disruptive, we tried our best not to move, not to disturb others within the room. In short, we didn’t have a comfortable, restful sleep! 

But in all fairness, the motel has no fault with the noise made by traffic, but can make improvements with their rustling sheets. Just a suggestion. 

Another interesting site to visit during your travels to the outback is an open-cut mine at Fort Bourke Hill Lookout… if you’re heading that way – magnificent viewing.
