Day 10
- Sunday 19th August 2012
Innaminka
to Noccundra
Distance traveled 269kms Dirt while in SA bitumen and dirt in QLD.
We had
a lazy morning take off and first off headed to the grave sites of Bourke and
Wills and visited the Kings memorial.
From here we pushed onto see the Dig tree and have a later lunch
break. We then pointed our tails to the
sun and headed across into Qld and pushed on down to Noccundra. At this point in the trip cabin fever set in for many and the radio conversations were what kept us laughing all the way to camp. We pulled into the one pub town about 5pm and
made a quick toilet break then went to find a place to camp beside the
river. It was a beautiful free camping
area and we found a nice spot that was plenty big for all of us to spread
out. We got busy making camp and getting
dinner underway. After dinner we headed
back across to the pub for a drink and to have showers. We enjoyed a few drinks and chatted with some
other travelers then we made tracks back to camp. It was still reasonably early so we started a
small fire to keep warm and chatted with Rhys and Effie till it was too cold to
stay up.
