Leaving Pooncarie
Steve's Report: Back on the road again after a visit to the Pooncarie school. Started at 11.00am and covered 31km in pretty good conditions.
As usual the kids were great, loved the wombat and Janice Kemp, the teacher seemed to enjoy the meeting. When we talked about how rain, river and underground water are all linked most of the kids were well aware of this. When the river dried up many of their farms put in bores which subsequently turned salty and the government stopped them from pumping.

These mellons have been all down the Darling and
now I find them on the side of the road |
This little guy only blinked at me. I reckoned he
was using the warmth from the road |
