On the banks of the Menindee...... must be a song in there ....

At Hay we heard the forcast for the following days to be quite warm and sunny so we hit the hardtop and headed for Balranyld and Mungo. Stayed at Turlee Station with very good toilets and showers in the camping area - for you homebodies this probably sounds very mundane but the older I get to more important these little things are. A really nice place with lots of firewood,beautiful sunset and a starry sky. Next morning we headed to Mungo which is also amazing but they had quite a flood in February and no longer let people wander out on the walls, one needs a guide, whiich one only finds out about when you are out at the viewing platform - the road around the back of the lake is also still closed, so we only got to view the Walls from the platform. Still worth the drive.
There is moss growing amongst the vegetation. Lots of tiny flowers also.
Tonight we are in a caravan park on the top end of the only lake that is accessible (because of all the rain) in the Menindee Lakes. After a spectacular sunset tonight we hope to paddle tomorrow on a lake that is 100% full........
