Trip to Bourke

My highlight of the week was a trip to Bourke, 100km to the west, with a work colleague. We visited the memorial site to Fred Hollows, famous eye specialist and surgeon who gave much of his time to treatment of eye conditions in the indigenous people.

This billboard has a fantastic outback painting




The Darling river which eventually joins the Murray and flows through Adelaide


My collegue, Kay, who invited me along for a sightsee.

We only had a couple of hrs to see the town, as I had worked nightshift and was on again that night. We took the opportunity to shop for groceries in a bigger town with a population of 3,000, but finding wasabi was a no go......Hadn't heard of it! ....My home made sushi will have to go unseasoned.

We met in 1971 and it was Eric's dream to build his own yacht and sail the world. This became a joint dream but it was not until 1994 that we were able to start building. "Erica" was launched in 2001 after 7yrs building her. It then took us 5 yrs to prepare her and ourselves before leaving NZ to see the world
