Definitely no going into New South Wales today. Also no "Mexicans" sneaking into Queensland here.

The Royal Mail Hotel - Hungerford. An old Cobb and co staging hotel. They do a nice steak sandwich for lunch.

The Dowling Track up to Thargomindah was now open. We drove up to the station stay at Kilcowera Station. This is us at Cardenyabba lagoon.

While road to Lake Wyara was closed in the Currawinya National Park, the lake is accessible from Kilcowera Station and is part of the self drive tour.

Lake Wyara is salt water and clear blue as opposed to the muddy brown of the fresh water Numalla. This is because Lake Wyara is supplied only by local run off water and doesn't overflow.

Wild flowers on the self drive tour of the station.

We stumbled across this little water hole where the Zebra Finches were coming in for a drink.

No photo but one of the bores is called murder bore. Turns out there was an actual murder, with the body burnt and the bones thrown down the bore.

A fair effort, but the murderer was caught and convicted.

Sunrise at Cardenyabba Lagoon.

Back in Thargo to do a bit of shopping. Headed down to the local picnic spot and was surprised to see the Bulloo flowing. It wasn't flowing when we left so this water is not local and has come down from around Quilpie Charleville.

Tea at the Noccundra Hotel. The lamb shanks were very popular.

There is nothing at Noccundra apart from the pub. The hope is that the road to Cameron's Corner will be open tomorrow else we will head towards Innamincka, and see the corner from the South Australian side.

Doesn't look like we will be getting to Cameron's Corner today.

The early morning storm did make for some nice photos.

The entrance to the Dig Tree site. There is quite a deal of good information on the boards in here.

There are three trees with blazes here and not just from the Burke and Wills' expedition.

Brahe who was waiting here for Burke and Wills to return blazed two trees. People coming later looking for Burke and Wills also left blazes. Some time after King was rescued and the bodies of Burke and Wills recovered some one carved a likeness of Burke in yet another blaze. Not all these blazes are still visible as they have closed over.

The one blaze from Brahe that is still visible. It states the number of the camp in roman numerals.

This is the original dig tree. Brahe carved the word dig on this horizontal branch and  buried supplies underneath. The blaze has grown over.

The carving of Burke is still visible.

I was surprised to see that the Cooper was flowing as well.

We camped here for the night.

There is a $20 dollar fee per vehicle to enter the site. Which seeing we were camping is pretty good.

Yes the site is remote - a long way from anywhere but it is not inaccessible - it is only the last 10 - 15 km that is not bitumen.

We stopped and talked to the Queensland Cop at the border. He really wasn't much interested in what we were up to. He was there to quiz people entering Queensland. We do have a SA pass but haven't had to show it to anyone yet.

I don't expect this truckie had any trouble coming through either.

Not far from Innamincka is Burke's Grave. Strictly speaking it is not his grave as his body is not there but there is a monument marking the spot where he died.

We didn't get to the other two sites Wills's tree or the spot where King was rescued on the other side of Innamincka as the roads are closed.
