• Cobar to Bourke

    August 16 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Before leaving Cobar we went for a quick group photo at the Cobar sign. Graham and Dave set up their tripods and entertained us all dashing back and forward setting the timer. We have many many photos of them mid dash. Lots of laughs and luckily someone came to take the photo for us. Success at last!
    Last stop in Cobar was the bakery for breakfast (just for a change). Graham, Ruby and Dave headed over the road to the hardware store. When the came back Gail asked where Ruby was and Graham dashed back to the road to collect Ruby, still tied up outside the shop. Bad dog father!
    Not a great deal to see in Bourke but we did manage to find the pub! And last night had the best campfire of the trip.
    This morning we went to the cemetary to pay our respects Fred Hollows grave and found this peaceful historic weir on the Darling River. Until the dozen dogs at the adjoining station saw us and all hell broke loose. They won't get broken into! Turned my back for a minute then could hear Graham laughing. One wet dog.
