At Thargomindah, the last town before heading in to the Station, we stopped at another caravan park where once more George was asked to sing in the evening. We've discovered its a great way to get a free nights stopover. The next morning we decided to stay on and George once more sang for our fees. The pictures below are from Thargomindah.
Above: Believe it or not this town had the first Hydro electric powered street lighting in Australia, third in the world after London and Paris in 1893. They have a working display with a hydro powered generator.
Above is the towns River Walk which follows the Bulloo River and leads down to the Cobb and Co river crossing. The drought has effected the river's flow and it is more a series of interconnected ponds at the moment. Since leaving Dubbo this has been the norm.
A very busy Saturday in the Main Street of Thargomindah !
