Bourke's Luck Potholes

The scenery on route to our next stop at Bourke’s Luck Potholes was stunning. When we got there, we had a walk down to the river to take photos. The rock formations are truly beautiful. The quartzite rock is highly resistant to mechanical and chemical weathering. It’s generally accepted that the potholes were formed by the swirling of rocks in the riverbed grinding these shapes along weaker points in the quartzite layers.

We bought cold drinks and then ate our Holiday Inn-supplied lunch when we were back on the truck – a chicken mayo sandwich, a cheese & tomato sandwich, a packet of crisps, two energy bars, a fruit juice, and an apple. We’re certainly not going to go hungry on this trip!

We didn’t eat everything, so added the crisps and cereal bars to our snack bag. It’s important to have such a bag on any overlanding trip in case of unexpected hold ups on the road😊.Read more
