Day 2 - Darling River in Kinchega National Park - NSW

Day 2 – We started to head towards NSW. First off we stopped at Red Cliffs and took a look at Big Lizzie. Big Lizzie Old steam tractor used to transport goods across the desert. We then came to Menindee, NSW and decided to camp beside the Lake Menindee, however the lake has long dried up so we camped instead on the Darling River in Kinchega National Park. Visited the site of the worst accident on the Darling involving a steamboat called, P.S. Providence. In 1872 it seems the crew forgot to fill the boiler after a night of drinking in Menindee. The result was a massive explosion killing for crewman
