We wake to the water pouring over the Condobolin weir and the call of birds. The Riverview caravan park is spacious, quiet with the exception of wildlife and clean, this is a good caravan park to stop at.

Before leaving town we visit the Utes in the Paddock at Information Centre. There are clever people in our world who can turn iconic old utes into interesting artwork, check out the photos. The staff at the information were very friendly and helpful and the coffee was good.

We continue along the Lachlan Valley Way, early lunch is at Lake Cargellico, an important water resource to the indigenous people and early pioneers. Plenty of waterbirds to be seen away from busier human frequented places, many Grey Teals.

The geology is interesting, a mixture of volcanic, limestone and sand plains.

As our chosen mode of travel we venture down less travelled roads such as Carrathool, close to the Murrumbidgee River and Conargo, a small settlement north of Deniliquin. The road interesting and picturesque in parts, the Weeping Myall woodlands are beautiful, easily recognised by their weeping blue-grey foliage unfortunately extensive areas are under pressure from the Bag Shelter moth, something known to authorities.

There are thousands of spent grass stalks blowing across the track , they look like spiny sea urchins tumbling along the road and at times gathered in mass by passing Willy-willies (Dust Devils)

We take quick look at the Murrumbidgee River, it is running well and we choose to cross the old Carrathool bridge taking time to do some photography.

We have travelled a fair distance today, both of us are tired but have enjoyed dinner at the Bowls Club and now enjoying the cool breeze coming off the Edward River at Deniliquin.
