We had enjoyed a lazy breakfast and relaxed pack up and were heading out along Mallett Rd towards our Broken Hill destination at 9 am.
The goal is to be there to do some touristing this afternoon as neither of us has spent time there as tourists.
Someone put in a lot of effort to clear the land up here and to build some solid buildings. Now the area is dotted with ruins and the occasional prickly pear sitting on the red dust.
It was interesting to see the different railway stations. Yunta had a fancy one. Olary a basic one

Water in many of the creeks.
Numerous goat and eagle sightings.
Miners memorial in Broken Hill is moving. So much unnecessary loss of life!

The living desert gave us a good look at the amazing scenery.


We’ve had a lovely history walk looking at the old buildings ( so many pubs)
and an excellent dinner celebrating 36 years married.




So… here’s to us. And the next 36.
