... and reached Mundi Mundi plains lookout, this is just a lookout from a small hill looking west along flat ground as far as the eye can see. It was quite cool to also see about 3 or 4 small mini dust tornados making their way across the landscape.<br><br>I then went an extra 3km further to a reservoir, but that was pretty boring, but it is odd to see a reservoir with water in such a dry and arid landscape.<br><br>Seeing all of those 3 things took all of 1.5hrs, so I recommend if you ...

... 10 metres of visibility. But we safely made it back.<br><br>Well that&#8217;s only two days and I still have 2 more days so I think I will do a second part to the Broken Hill blog. I plan to see some more of the local Broken Hill attractions tomorrow (Saturday) also try get my camera fixed because I am going to be hiring a car on Sunday and heading out to Silverton where mad max was filmed along other films. I will also be going to Mundi Mundi lookout and heading down south to Menindee Lakes

Hi everyone This part of the blog is called Broken Hill because we drove from Adelaide up through the outback to a town called Broken Hill which is very famous indeed and then back down to Melbourne to visit friends. We had read up about Broken Hill and it was touch and go at one point about whether to make the trek there in our car but after reading and hearing that it was so famous and so unforgettable, we decided it would be sinful not to go have a look. We drove for approx 5 hours ...

In the meanwhile in Ozzie... Broken Hill is een mijnstadje met minder dan duizend inwoners en dit begint wel echt op het Australie van de Flying doctors te lijken, die hier trouwens ook echt hun thuisbasis hebben. Ook wij beginnen meer en meer echte nomads te worden, vuurtje maken savonds, pipi in de bush, etc. We hebben eigenlijk meer tijd doorgebracht in Silverton, een stadje met minder dan 50 inwoners en de achtergrond van niet minder ...

... of the pub were photos of scenes from the various movies and television series filmed in the area such as Dirty Deeds and A Town Like Alice. Returning to Broken Hill we stopped at a camel farm and Darcy and Guy, reluctantly at first, went off for a 30 minute camel ride whilst Craig and Fraser went in a different direction for a 15 minute ride. At the end though the boys all thought the scariest bit of the ride ...

... be a good one. Im looking out the window and can see that I'm surrounded by red sandunes and a few bushes here and there as far back as the horizon in all directions. I have been stairing out this window for the last 20 minutes and Ive seen a few Red Kangaroos bouncing around, in there natural habitat and a few wedge tailed eagles gliding the fresh blue sky hunting for there pray. Train travel is great for getting closer to the ...

... town outside Broken Hill so now we've seen two Mad Max locations, the first being Coober Pedy. The drive here goes along a pretty bad road with 39 dips which could easily be used to launch any vehicle into the air if it's going too fast. It's pretty easy to see why they chose these deserted areas but now we've got to see the film again to see if we recognise anything. It's not like Udaipur in India where they continually show Octopussy in all restaurants and guest houses ...

BROKEN HILL (2-5 August 2006) We arrive Broken Hill just before dusk once again to check out the two caravan parks in town to pick the best one, even though we are on a budget! Suppose we will have to go by price next time, bugger! We will do the washing, stock up on supplies, do some tourist destinations and home schooling of course and yet catch up on the ...
