Back o’ Bourke
Description
Back o' Bourke: is an expression allegedly minted by poet Henry Lawson, and refers to Bourke's place at the edge of civilisation. Bourke is at the western edge of the agricultural regions of New South Wales and is a gateway to the vast and arid Australian outback. Take a short trip around the local farms and marvel at the vast, dry red plains beyond.
