Wednesday 17 April Bourke
Today we spent in a leisurely manner as we have all been to Bourke before. Had coffee at the Port of Bourke where they started up a Crossley engine. Missed the "Back of Bourke" performance as we did not realise that it started at 11.00 AM. Did a walk around the old block of Bourke where there are some really beautiful old buildings. Jo had trouble with the Anderson plug on the caravan so had to an auto electrician out to fix the fuses.

April 16 Louth - Bourke
We left the van hitched last night and had dinner at the Louth Pub so it was an easy start to the morning today. The road to Bourke has just been graded but there were sections with lots of deep bull dust. Lack of rain out here has the countryside very dry. Only had 100 kms to cover today so we arrived in Bourke quite early. Staying at the Kidman Camp Caravan Park on the Cunnamulla Road.
After 500 or so kms on dirt, today was a chore day - hose the dust off the van, clean the inside, hose the car, do the washing etc. Tomorrow we will set out exploring the town.
