On a return visit to Louth with a friend during the second winter of a harsh drought, we visited the monument to take some photo's and retell the story. The friend we had with us, a city girl, looked around the landscape and asked 'what would make a woman come out here?' It was just a few day's later we went to a barbeque beside the river and were both struck by the beauty of the scene, the wonderful outback winter sun and the glorious Darling. Mathews
himself is noted to have said 'I should not like to close…without
bearing emphatic testimony to the salubrity of the climate of the North
Western interior. The children born there are healthiest in the world,
and if we have some very hot and scorching days, we have many more cool
and pleasant ones. |

believe it could be done You're
