Still In Bourke

Still in Bourke waiting on parts for the bus. So when the offer of a few days on a Station mustering/marking sheep arose I said yes



First thing was to set the yabby pots.





Spent day 1 chasing sheep on  the station motorbike. Next morning, while others moved the sheep closer to the yard, I fueled and greased the grader then 2 of us set off to cut a new road from one of the tanks to the boundary/Qld border road.



Ute here is acting as a marker for the grader back in the scrub









Coming to the end of pass 1. Road ended up 3 blades wide and 4k long.

And here we are at the NSW/QLD border



Who says you cant have a bit of luxury in the bush
A spa fed by the bore







 Next couple of days were busy with the sheep so no photos.

 Back in Bourke went for a trip on the Jandra paddle boat on the Darling.

 A visit to Mt Oxley. the highest bit of land for quite a distance.




Yes I know this post is a bit of a mess.
I'll be back to tidy it up soon. when i've got a bit more bandwidth.
