Broken Hill To Menindee Lakes


Day 27 – 20th May 2010
J&J spent most of the night on the ground but survived it ok. We packed up and did a little bit of tourist stuff in Broken Hill. Managed to find Country Target and Marg got a jacket for the cold nights! Ha only 2 left. Ooo that’s sad. Headed out to Menindee Lakes which are south east of Broken Hill and very rarely have any water in them. But right now they are full and the Darling River is flowing and it is just beautiful. We lunched by the Darling and collected firewood and went looking for a campsight for the night. Found a nice one on the banks of Pamamaroo Lake. A lovely relaxed afternoon reading and setting up camp and making damper. The sunset was spectacular, possibly the best yet and possibly the most photos taken so far. Boy, the culling process will be time consuming , but fun. Rob has a great fire going, probably the last of the trip. Steak and sausages for dinner and of course – damper. Fingers crossed! This is the perfect spot for our last camp. Hoping it gets cold enough for Marg’s new jacket.
