Broken Hill, Outback NSW, Australia
Broken Hill is a mining town in outback New South Wales, Australia.
The line of load in Broken Hill is the richest deposit of Silver, Lead and Zinc in the world. We saw a beautiful sunrise and a huge Wedge Tail Eagle just sitting on a fence. There were also a lot of Emu's around.
We had a look around the town and saw the fountain at the Twin Lakes. We stopped to have a look at the Court House. It is a very beautiful old building. While we were there I had a close look at a sort of dug out canoe.
Carved from Bloodwood, it represents a contemporary interpretation of aspects from traditional indigenous culture, including images portraying animals from the river. The canoe is made in two pieces, weighs approximately one tonne and contains water to represent a certain irony that it has lost it's function-it cannot float. Water is vital to this region and to the traditional people, the BAAKANTJI, which literally translates as People of the Darling River.
We visited Brown's Shaft at the Junction Mine and then went to see where The Royal Flying Doctor is based.
On top of JP Keenan lookout, you get a good view around Broken Hill.
We went to see the gallery of the famous painter, Pro Hart. There was an amazing painted Rolls Royce car! At the Living Desert, there are Sandstone sculptures and a Flora and Fauna sanctuary.

90. Henty Park Campground, Portland Victoria
In Portland we stayed at the Tram Station Free camp at the Henty Park Campground. This is one of our favourite stays on our trip.
A great camp ground with level grassed sites, water, toilets, dump point, bins and so close to town.
The Ranger came every day and spoke to those who were not self contained. He was really fair and good to talk to.
It is a 72 hour stay and is pet friendly.
I had great coverage with both Telstra and Vodafone.
The cost to stay is Free.
Our stay was 6-8th and 10-11th March 2017
