Wilcannia

We hadn't expected it to be difficult to find accommodation in Wilcannia - but it was.  We lucked out for our first and second choices, so stayed at Graham's, where you booked at the servo in front.

Let's just say there was major contrast between our former pharmacy Nyngan apartment and our basic family room (the only one left)!

Someone had recommended the Wilcannia Golf Club for a Chinese meal and we were glad we'd taken up the advice - our (huge) meals were great!

We strolled around the town after dinner and had time for another look in the morning, including a river walk. 

Wilcannia was once a major inland river port and has some beautiful, old sandstone buildings.  I enjoyed taking photos of those and reading a little of their history.  There had been a lot of rain in the area, so the river was quite full - which was good to see.

We planned to have a couple of nights in Menindee.  Recent rain meant one of the roads was closed.  There were still two choices though and we opted for the more scenic, dirt road - which was an excellent decision!
