Apr 6, 2013 - Corrugation!

This morning we made up our minds to leave Wentworth and follow the Darling. This takes us via Pooncarie, an old Darling River wool town, to Menindee 237 Klm's north of Wentworth. Until we got to Pooncarie where we stopped beside the Darling for lunch, the road was made. After leaving Pooncarie the road became very corrugated. Pooncarie is such a small town that you're through it in no time. Population 60. We had been thinking of going to the Mungo National Park but a vehicle of our size was too big so we gave it a miss.

Quick stop off on the way out of Adelaide in the morning for a catch up over breakfast with Steve's cousin Norm, before heading back on up to Ann & Daves for christmas lunch with many & varied branches of the Todd Family Tree (22 of us in all). Dave is apparently well known for a short temper (and just as quickly returning to his usual sunny self) and saw this in action when he smashed one of the tables into its consituent pieces. Also saw Steves genetic inheritance in action (his grandfather was a carpenter) when he hammered it back...
