ПутешественникSo much for civilisation if you couldn’t have a shower. Hopefully you got some cold drinks at least. I couldn’t imagine trying go without fridges or eskies for so long. Another warm week coming up. Hopefully it’s all tail winds. Keep it up.
ПутешественникHi Mark, I’m belatedly joining this epic travelogue and will catch up on previous entries in due course. Great photos of Wilcannia. According to Wikipedia it was the third busiest inland port in Australia during the River Boat era in the mid-1800s ( some references say third busiest on the Darling River) and is now one of the most socially disadvantaged areas of NSW. Wilcannia is located where the Barrier Highway crosses the Darling River. Its other main claim to fame is that it was the site of the first brewery which the famous beer baron Edmund Resch built in Australia.
ПутешественникHi Pete. Thanks for that info. The site of Reschs brewery is actually where the Wilcannia golf club is situated. The Golf Club which serves a great chicken and cashew nut, but strangely doesn't have a golf course!
