Memories

We took two cars and travelled to places that Greg remembered from his childhood.
We went to Copi Hollow, a small hamlet by the lake, with a caravan park. We travelled along a very rutted dirt road, and arrived (after several kilometres of uncomfortable driving) to find that a bitumen road lead into the town from further down the main road! We could have avoided the shaking!
After Fiona asked directions from the roadside grasscutter, we went to a great lookout site over the main Menindee lake. It was huge, and difficult to see the far side. Another great place was the main weir, within walking distance from our campsite. This was an area which controlled the level of the main lake by feeding overflow into our lake. The flow was furious and the level of the lake was visibly demonstrated by the submerged road- the start visible on one side of the lake, but mostly submerged and only a few meters visible on the opposite side.
We stopped for lunch at Menindee pub. Ian and I had a steak sandwich...it came with chips and was huge.
I couldn't eat any tea that night!Read more
