Time to head north again, after a cool start to the day at
Bourke. We joined the exodus from the
caravan park and were on the road about 8.30am.
The road continued to be good, with long straights, no hills, little
traffic and thousands of emus! The
amount of roadkill (both kangaroos and emus) seemed to increase once we crossed
the Queensland border – at one stage the emus outnumbered the roos. Not only is the drought affecting the barren
countryside – just dirt and/or sand – but it is starting to damage the
roadways. We were held up on two
occasions while the cracks in the road were filled with tar; we now know what
all the tarry squiggles on the roads are for.
We arrived at the Warrego Riverside Caravan Park at
Cunnamulla before lunch and were quickly set up on our drive through site,
complete with our own backyard, hedges and large lemon tree. There are plenty of lemon, lime and cumquat
trees in fruit and we are welcome to take some fruit, as well as help ourselves
to the herbs which have survived the kangaroos.
Apart from a walk along the Warrego River after lunch and a bit of
socialising around the campfire, it was a relaxing afternoon enjoying the sun.
