Today we went on a paddle boat called Jandra. We went along the Darling River and saw lots of birds like pelicans, darters and ducks. In the afternoon we went to the exhibition center. We watched a short show about Bourke. We leant that Henry Lawson once said that ” if you know Bourke you know Australia”. After that we went to see Fred Hollows grave. Fred Hollows was a eye doctor who helped a lot of Aboriginals and other people from poor countries. His grave was quite unusual it had a big big rock instead of a head stone and the Hollows family invited you to go on it. We had a camp oven dinner.

Very interesting once again. The Paddle Boat would have fun, it looked like it might have been a bit cold though. I didn’t realise Fred Hollows came from there, he did a lot of great work in his lifetime. Great photo of the Pelican. L of L Nan/Mum, Bella xxxxxx
