Near Louth

Recently cracked the oil sump travelling to Bourke. Very remote but luckily a local grazier came by and towed us to Louth, population 34. A very entertaining evening with the locals plus surrounding graziers before a 450km tow to Dubbo for repair. While waiting for the tow to Louth, this was the scene we experienced. The trees in the distance are on the Darling River. The skeleton in the foreground was a slow emu.
