We are disappointed this morning to find that the roads south from Menindee are open (on the Darling River Run to Pooncarrie) - but the both roads north are still closed to Wilcannia.
This means we need to drive back through Broken Hill to Wilcannia.
Before leaving Menindee we checkout the weir lookout.
When we walked further beyonfpd the lookout we found on the other side of the weir the mist pelicans I have ever seen in one location before.
They were working together in groups to herd the fish - I have heard of them doing this but never seen it in the wild before myself.
And we all dip together now!!!!
We arrived late afternoon and camped at "Warrawong on the Darling" - a great new caravan park on a property 3km out Wilcannia on the Cobar Rd.
Great little spot - with great new amenities and we had a site overlooking the billabong - watching some old guys catching yellow belly in the billabong.
We enjoyed an afternoon walk around part of the property - and there are lots of beautiful Parrots in the trees here. We think they are Ring Neck or possibly Mulga Parrots.
