Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
Day 6 Mon 16 May 16, 11 - 25deg, fine & warm with scattered high clouds, Bourke. Early to bed and early to rise makes us healthy, not wealthy and unwise, or something. Up early as usual and after a quick caffeine fix off we went on our walk to wake us up and try to capture those early morning photo-gems you can't get with full sun. Alas, not so good as the sun was hidden by early cloud. A leisurely brekky followed by some grocery shopping (no Woolies out here Supa IGA only) was next on the agenda. It was then onto the bikes for a tour de Bourke, 28km all up. We went to the Back O' Bourke but there was nuffin there so we rode back home for lunch and a LLD. It was interesting really. Just a short afternoon ride took in one of the local cotton gins (can you still call them that?) and an interesting cemetery. Fred Hollows lies at rest there, what an amazing man he was. Dinner tonight was Chinese at the Bowls Club. Very nice too, the seafood special was clean and fresh; and the sweet & sour pork was delicious, no prizes for guessing who had what. A full, enjoyable day in Bourke.
