SEVENTY kilometres from Tibooburra, along a dirt road in far western New South Wales, travellers are greeted by an unexpected sight: a converted caravan sitting on a clay pan, serving coffee in the heart of the Outback.

This is the Nest Golden Egg Cafe, a quirky roadside stop created by Rachel and Bodie Hill, who live on Waka Station, a sprawling 130,000-acre property between Tibooburra and Cameron Corner.
