NORTH THROUGH THE COBAR GOLD REGION


Travelling north on the Kidman Highway arriving at Cobar we drove up the Fort Bourke Lookout overlooking this underground gold and copper mine which has been in operation since 1992.



After stopping for lunch in this rural busy township, we carried on north to Bourke where we drove around town (very quiet) for a look to see the Darling River precinct, (not too much else to see other than Fred Hollows was burried out at the cemetery). I found a free camp out of town on the eastern side!!!!!!!!  Goats, emu's as well as kangaroos abound through here and the goat's meat sells for export at a great price.
Mays Bend on a farm road????  Not sure if we were at the right spot but found a place for the night. Very quiet and peaceful and did not see another vehicle or animals around.
