Bourke

Arrived Bourke for late lunch.
Unhooked the van and took a trip out towards Louther, down the Darling.
We wanted to check out access to the river for future reference. Superman thinks he will try his hand at paddling the Darling on a future trip. Batgirl (AKA old bat) needs a little more convincing.
While we were 4x4 driving in and out of access roads to the river, we got a flat tyre. Back to town to try to get it fixed, only to find that at 5.20 pm on Friday evening, the only tyre repair place in town had already turned the compressor off and planned to go away for the weekend. So there is nothing we can do until Monday. We’re in the Outback now.

Last night we attended a community campfire (BBQ, pancakes & billy tea) with aboriginal dancers and a fabulous bush poet.
It was a great night and we met a few fellow grey nomads who are a wealth of information.
