After our first glimpse of the lake, we drove into town and chatted for some time to a lovely local lady about the area. She and her husband have a grape farm out of town. Menindee grapes are a popular table variety, so named due to originating from the area - and for decades local growers produced up to a million boxes a year.
Our volunteer guide gave some tips about places to visit in the area and made recommendations for lunch/dinner.
We really enjoyed our cafe lunch and then checked into our room afterward, was was a favourite of the trip. It was very clean, with colour co-ordinated towel fans arranged on the beds.
After setting up, we headed out to look at Copi Hollow.
Broken Hill Speedboat Club is based there, with a popular caravan park. We were happy to use the reserve area next door and have a paddle in the water.
There was an amazing sky - just stunning! As large as this water area seemed, it's just a smaller section on the map.
