Menindee Lakes To The Parting

Day 28 - 21st May 2010

Woke to a lovely sunrise and the lake looking as stunning as when the sun set. Beautiful reflections and colours. A cool morning and Rob got a great fire going for the last campfire breakfast. Nothing better than toast over the coals and tea from the boiled billy. We are going to miss our relaxed lifestyle. The last breaking of camp and on the road toward Wilcannia. It was a dirt road with a few sections of bulldust. Just what the cars wanted - dry dust as opposed to mud! We followed the Darling River on its southern side to the highway - bitumen - (what's that?),  that then took us to Cobar. Lunched in a rest area along the way and arrived Cobar to be stopped by the breathaliser. Lucky for Jan and John, the policeman who pulled them over was a bush mechanic and helped them change a petrol filter on the side of the road. He was a real character and entertained us while he did most of the work! Afternoon tea in Cobar and then to Nyngan for the night. Had the luxury of a Motel room.
