G: nah, we've been there before.
(26 years ago!)
T: yep, and I think I've been 3 times
(more than 26 years ago)
Then we remembered the long weekend in October and realised that we didn't want to be near the coast or any popular long weekend spots at that time.
So we opted for a soujourn in Broken Hill.
During which time we went down 't mine.
We viewed the Sculptures in the desert at sunset (along with a couple of hundred other people)
And we popped off for an overnight trip to Mutawinji National Park, a couple of hours drive North-East, leaving our van in the very capable custody of Broken Hill racecourse.
There had been a bit of rain the week before and the road had just reopened.
Also we were incredibly lucky to see the creeks with so much water in.
Enough for a dip!
Unfortunately there are lots of weeds, a legacy of it's grazing past.
This Patersons curse looks spectacular, but - it's a weed.
There are also many feral goats.....pity they don't eat up all the weeds!
We also visited the charming art gallery in Broken Hill and highly recommended is a visit to Pro Harts studio, but we didn't do that this time.
When I'd been before Pro was still alive and would be wandering around, or throwing some paint around.
It's the sort of town you can certainly dally for a while.
Dates: 28/9 to 1/10
