What country is this river in? Or are we lost and confused?

On arriving at our site we were confronted by a pile of rubbish at least enough to fill say a holden ute. No one except us seemed to notice. The fire was still smoldering next to it. A mixed mob of kids and adults next to us looked and continued with their drinking and their kids dived in and out of the flowing river beside them. It was too late to move on.

As we made camp for the night amidst the litter the next door mob switched on their generators. They needed power to live in these conditions. The river bank was lit up. The men obviously worn out from drinking retired early only to be usurped by the women who then proceeded to party and cooee.. Someone found it necessary to keep getting into their car, roaring off in a cloud of dust and returning 20 minutes later and slamming doors. This went on until 11pm. Might have something to do with "the sprits" at night.
Mercifully at 2AM someone either switched the gennys off or they ran out of fuel.

Next morning I awoke to see two men step out of their primitive accommodation light up a smoke say good morning to each other and both began to pee. One of them looked at me and went on with what he was doing.
As a kid growing up in NSW this was called a drovers breakfast.
A smoke ,piss and a good look around.

My wife and I have left this strange country this morning and went to the clean and welcoming town of Numurkah in a place called Victoria where we shall stay for awhile to rest.
When we have fully recovered we shall continue with our travels. But we will travel in Australia from now on.
Happy new year to all.
Regards
