The river is slowly rising and will continue to rise as more floodwater comes down.
The road we came through to NSW from Qld is now closed with water over the road for extensive sections.
Next stop was back to Bourke and the Bourke cemetary. It’s most well known for the grave of Fred Hollows…
The building is an old Afghan mosque from the early days of the camel trains.
Then down the Louth road to the Port Bourke stockade. It is a replica of one built in 1835 by Major Thomas Mitchell when he was in conflict with the local Aborigines.
Then back to town to give Percy an expensive drink and then some food to get us home. Got fuel for just under $2 at a depot but everyone knows how the prices are increasing. The servos in town are now around $2.30 a litre for unleaded.
Leaving here tomorrow for a 3 day trip home. Our plan is to Warren tomorrow or at least Nyngan.
