Bourke is a sleepy town of about 2500 people.One of the big events of the year is the Bourke Show and we were lucky to be there for it. The show featured horse jumping, sideshows and the highlight was the sheep and wool judging. We were fortunate to see Gabi Hollows (Fred's widow) present the prizes to the winners. Fred Hollows had a special relationship with Bourke and is buried there. The Darling River passes through Bourke but the water level was pretty low.
