Finally after a week away we made it to
Broken Hill after a lovely drive from Mildura.
We didn't encounter much traffic and
the highway was flanked by wild flowers in a beautiful red earth
landscape.

We had one stop at a road house on the
way up and easily found the caravan park when we got here.

Poor fellow, he didn't make it to the road house in time
|
Lake View caravan park has no lake by
the way and the bathrooms could do with a good scrub! One would think
if premium prices were charged at least we could expect spotless
facilities....not this time!
The mining industry is obvious as soon
as you come close to Broken Hill and we can't wait to explore the
area over the next few days.

We found the streets where my Great
Grandfather and Great Uncle lived which was an exciting start to finding
the ancestors.
