Show Notes
***For those here purely for the Pilliga Princess story - skip to 5:50. For our regulars, enjoy :)
In the late 80s and 90s, Clare Wibson, along with a shopping trolley full of her belongings, roamed the 120km stretch of the Newell Highway running between Coonabarabran and Narrabri in Northwestern NSW.
Information on Clare's life prior to this period is scarce at best, and the reason for her presence on the road is a mystery. However, after she was tragically struck down by a southbound truck on the 20th March 1993, many truckers and unknowing travellers alike report seeing the same thing - a woman with blinding white hair pushing a shopping trolley down the highway.
The Pilliga Scrub in Northwestern NSW has a long history of mysterious encounters and horrifying spiritual experiences, and maybe none more notorious than Clare's, as she is now known...as the Pilliga Princess.
