Time to head north to the Sunshine Coast for Meg's 80th Birthday and Christmas. Special time with family and friends. Grandchildren to cuddle and play with. Yippeee!!! From Mildura we decided to head up through outback NSW and follow the Darling River part of the way - Pooncarie, Menindee, Broken Hill, Wilcannia, Walgett, Cobar, Bourke and Lightning Ridge. Then across to Dirranbandi, Dalby, Kilcoy and home! It turned out to be quite an adventure. Pooncarie 3rd - 4th November 2017 Pooncarie is a tiny town set on the banks of the Darling River 115klm north of Wentworth. Pooncarie was once a thriving port town, with paddlesteamers laden with wool plying the Darling downstream for South Australia. For some strange reason they like to put tractors and cars on sticks. Dezziz favourite tractor - the Fergie Four Banger. (This one was at Wentworth, just north of Mildura) Another stick car - a Peugeot at Pooncarie. Brilliant camp on the Darling. Power and water
