Old bridge between Bourkes, sadly closed for repairs at the moment
The Darling, in need of water
Gundabooka National park
Some rock painting in the park.
Don't know what to think about the Darling River. It is low with the drought and I was one who was quick to criticise the cotton farmers and Cubbie station in particular but talking with some locals and some visitors who were at Cubbie the week before who reported it was just as dry. I am not so sure. I do think that cotton is not a sustainable crop and have thought that for a while given the water use and chemical sprays. I struggle with the history that shows we have not learned anything and have raped the area and the river several times over.
Weather was bright but cold. Luckily the astronomy followed a week or so of scattered showers and overcast skies.
Happy to be home again though.
