After being delayed and back tracking to Eulo, we pulled out the map again and decided the easiest and simplest way home was on the blacktop, east to Cunamulla and then south to Bourke, before pushing on to a free camp at Warren.
Being a long day of just over 600 kilometres, we hit the road early and found it an easy days run on wide straight highways.

We tried a self portrait... whilst the boys made cubby houses in the back! |
We stopped for lunch at a great future camp north of Bourke at Mays Bend. This former caravan park on a bend in the Darling River was a beautiful spot for a rest and a leg stretch. We marked it as a great spot to consider coming back to. The access track could be a little difficult after some rain, but we found the camping area wide and grassy with plenty of shady camp sites.

And so we continued south, through Narromine and on the Warren Weir, where we were confronted with a locked gate, barring our acesss to a promising camp. Despite our wearieness we returned to the main highway and pulled into Trangie Caravan Park a short time later.
