Day 25

Had a great night around the fire pot on the banks of the Darling river and the jaffles were fantastic, lots of barking dogs on the other side of the river last night but slept ok anyway, off this morning heading west following the Darling river stopped in at the Tilpa weir for a look and then into Tilpa township not much here just the pub but very nice would stop here next time rather than Louth, had a cuppa and then kept motoring and pulled up at the coach and horses camp ground right on a bend of the river, designated camp sites and a fee of $6 each per night (nsw parks 🤨) kept on punching away on the dirt to Wilcannia for a fuel top up, back on the Darling river run not bad road with lots of cattle grids, arrived at the Menindee lakes at about 4, very little water in some parts of the lake probs only about 1 % full very sad to see, last time here 2017 the lakes were full and you had a hard time finding a camp, we are the only ones in this spot where there would of been 20 or more last time. Happy hour time looking out over the dry lake bed, got the fire pot out going to cook chicken in the camp oven.Read more
