We headed off the next morning to the very impressive Menindee Lakes to camp on the banks of the Darling River. It was here that we did one final Burke and Wills history lesson; visiting the location of the Base Camp when the expedition first set off.

We enjoyed more relaxation on the banks of the river. Aidan and Cody were keen to have a fish but seeing as we had left all our fishing gear in the boat which is currently in Adelaide we thought they would not get a chance to fish. That was until the boys found some scraps of fishing line along the banks of the river and some hooks on some of the line. So after sharpening up a couple of hooks and finding a muscle to cut up for bait they soon had lines in the water. Although there were no great impressive catches to boast about they had a lot of fun pulling in a few small Carp.
