7 October: Uneventful journey back to Cunnamulla, no rain (it was threatened) which was good as the road out to the QLD border closes quickly if it rains. Stayed at campsite on the Warrego River again. Great lightening show on Saturday night and a huge red moon. Finally had some rain which the locals were very pleased about. Set our yabbie pot in the river as it was meant to be a good place to catch them. Had some fun when we went to retrieve our pot before leaving on Monday morning. Tried pulling it in but it was firmly stuck! Luckily for us the camp had kayaks for hire and were happy to lend us one. Danger went up the creek without a paddle (Rube let him out on a rope) and freed the pot. Outcome, Danger, kayak and pot safe ashore and one yabbie in the pot!
9 October: Crossed the border again and back into NSW and to Bourke. Went through a patch of heavy rain and evidence of recent rain at Bourke. Some nice old buildings in Bourke including the Post Office where we collected a parcel (a thermometer for the Weber).
