$2,750.00
This is at Ilaararra, it’s a swimming spot near Tempe Downs Station. The river is called Urrampinya. When I was young I grew up going to Ilaararra camping with my family and swimming, fishing with my cousins, sisters and borthers. We travelled, my Uncle’s family. Now I go with my own family to see the Country. I tell stories to my children that I grew up hearing from my Father’s side family. They listen to me when I tell story. They love it, going out there on holidays.
