We got up Early on day 6 as we had a long drive ahead of us our destination Wentworth Victoria
Wentworth was popular for pokie tour bus rides from Adelaide SA prior to the legalisation of pokie machines in that state
we went for a wander round town we went and checked out the weirs
We found a monument of the TEA20 Harry Ferguson tractor for their part in the building of the massive levee banks that protected Wentworth against the devasting 1956 flood
We found a statue of a man named possum who was a homeless man who helped on farms in and around Wentworth in exchange for food he slept in trees hence his name he lived this life for some 50 years
Jim having some fun with Possum
In the afternoon we went out to Perry Sand Hills located 6 km out of Wentworth a unique land formation 333 hectares of continuously shifting sand dunes
Its a backdrop for many films and TV shows during WW2 it was used as a bombing range

was a very busy day but it was great another long day tomorrow
That sand dune looks like it was about to gobble up the car as well.
