Bourke

We have spent a lovely three days at Bourke enjoying a break from travelling and soaking up the beautiful weather. Yesterday was a pleasant 27 degrees slightly cooler today only 24.

 We were hoping to catch the Outback Show while we were here but we are a little early as it will not be here until early June. We spent a good couple of hours at the Back O'Bourke Exhibition Centre which brings to life the story of Outback NSW. Yesterday afternoon we spent a relaxing afternoon on on the PV Jandra meandering up the Darling River to the Port of Bourke passing under the River Bridges old and new then returning to the caravan park. Last night there was entertainment in the park with the Poet on a Plate, a pleasant evening sitting around a camp fire listening to poetry about outback life with a delicious slow cooked meal topped off by a lemon tart for dessert.
