We camped at Sandy Point - a free camp on the river - and very popular! For an overnighter, it was fine. We met Dennis & Tops there and enjoyed sitting around our camp fire and being together again.
The trip from Hay to Wilcannia was also quite easy, with stops at Booligal for our first break, and lunch at Ivanhoe. We learned that the Lachlan River is at Booligal, and this little place had a lovely rest stop by a nice green oval. We are now camped at Warrawong on the Darling on another lovely grassed area - we had thought we’d be bush camping by the river, but happily it’s too wet there as the Darling is really high and flowing. Last year when we saw the Darling at Wilcannia, it was just a series of puddles, so it’s fantastic to see! We did enjoy the lovely sunset too!
This is the old bridge at Wilcannia - much like our Murrabit bridge.
We did a tour of the town, and enjoyed a coffee at the little pop up coffee van. Wilcannia has some beautiful old buildings and we loved this hospital.
From here we are heading to a station stay out of White Cliffs and not far from Peery Lake. Although the water in the lake is receding, we do hope to see some bird life. It’s also rather busy here so we’re looking forward to camping by a billabong where it will be very peaceful!
It’s been quite warm here, but now is cooling down and we’ve seen thunder storms go around us. Hope those rain clouds are heading Murrabit’s way!!
So until our next blog, we send our love and best wishes to you all. ❌❌❌❌
