The Kidman Way.

Heading south from Cunnamulla, we crossed into NSW north of Bourke. This road is known as the Kidman Way and extends from Cunnamulla in the north to Jerrilderie in the south passing through Bourke, Cobar, Griffith and the most delightful small town called Darlington Point.
We had been told about some terrific camp spots on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River, so that's where we decided to spend a few days. The weather is lovely during the day but quite chilly once the sun goes down. Because we are only a few kilometers from the town we have full mobile phone coverage - first time for ages. Firewood is readily available so we have been doing our cooking etc on a campfire which we keep going most of the time. The river water is not suitable for drinking but meets our needs for showers etc.

The river is very low but still flowing, with huge fallen redgums being exposed in many places adjacent to our sunny campsite.
