Then the Cobar Picnic Races are on the next weekend, that’s a big day on the 27th. in Cobar, and heaps more to see in the “copper” town while you’re there.

If you’re still up in Bourke though, you can take in the “Back-o-Bourke Boar Buster” on that same weekend, 26/28th. Heaps going on at Bourke that weekend and you can have a River Boat Cruise on the Sunday, how good is that! Still at Bourke, there’s a week of “1000 Stories” from 3rd. to 10th. Sept.
