Day 5 off to Bourke

I wonder what people must think when they see us canoe past with a load of rubbish on the back. I must report though that 1 pair of Steve Waugh sunnies are currently floating down the Darling so I hope someone rescues them. We had Steak, eggs & chips for tea and it was a beautiful evening and we even got 6 drops of rain (well maybe only 3 because we maybe both counted the same drops) Off to bed early start next day.




6.00am wake up because we are driving 480km today on outback tracks. They maybe called roads and even highways on the map but they certainly aren’t. We stopped for a lunch time beer at the Shinnys Inn at Louth a nice little town on the Darling 100km from Bourke. They had some great photos like most towns of the droughts and floods and great pictures of Big Cod caught years gone by. Also a photo of the biggest Road train towing 29 trailers. I would have liked to see him drive over the one lane bridge with that.

Just one of the many locals trying to derail our trip


And they call this a river


There is not much dirt left on this road most of it is in the back of the Tojo
