A lovely gem of a place to visit
... words but had not completed putting on the photos to match the writing. This is now up to date less 5 days including today. We had a visitor for coffee this morning, Dingo who we met yesterday at Burke’s Grave at Innamincka.

Back in the Back O Bourke again
... with Brenda and Bernard (family friends of Phil) we caught up on all the goings on in Bourke since Phil left - it didn't take all that long. One stabbing, one pub burnt down, people got married and most people had left town!!
