White Cliffs to Broken Hill

The rain stopped overnight but I still had to carry Blue across the mud so he could use the dry bitumen as his toilet. Several vehicles travelling on dry gravel roads one day found themselves having to deal with flooded muddy roads. Some roads are closed when it rains or they are damaged by cars and trucks leaving deep ruts.


We returned to Wilcania to refuel then drove to Broken Hill for lunch - a shorter day travelling 295kms. Our favourite cafe in Broken Hill is back in business so we had lunch at the Silly Goat. On our walk back to our caravan we called in to see my niece-in-law working at one of the shoe shops in Argent St. I love the historic buildings in Broken Hill, especially those from the Art Deco era.


We were booked in at the Broken Hill Tourist Park where we have stayed several times before. We had to pay the full cost when the booking was made. There are so many caravans and motorhomes on the road the parks don't want to have no-shows. It took 20 minutes to check in as there were half a dozen vans ahead of us. Our site is near the entrance and I have watched several vans be turned away as they had not made a booking and the park is full.

We did some washing and walked Blue around the park meeting other dogs. My brother-in-law organised dinner for us to catch up with my relatives at the Broken Hill Pub, including lovely baby Ivy and her dad Steve.

Broken Hill to Burra

Image
We left Broken Hill about 8am for our drive to Burra. Our first stop was at Mannahill. We followed this load of sheep as we dawdled through roadworks. On a recommendation from friends we explored Terowie, an historic town that is almost abandoned. The town grew late in the nineteenth century as a transhipment point from broad gauge rail to narrow gauge. In the 1970s the line to Peterborough was converted to broad gauge and Terowie became a near ghost town. Several abandoned shops are now owned by the South Australian Government. Unfortunately there is a risk associated with asbestos being blown around the town. The population fell from about 2000 to 130. In 1942 General Macarthur passed through Terowie on his way to Adelaide and Melbourne. He made a public speech at the railway station famously asserting "I came out of Bataan [in the Phillipines] and I shall return". A plaque marks the location at the rem...

Aussie Road Crew - Finished

Image
After our final dinner and concert some Roadies were continuing their celebrations near our Bushtracker. We could hear the noise even though all windows were shut and the van is normally soundproof. As it was after 10pm I ventured out to negotiate with them. While one person accused me of being the fun police, other Roadies supported my suggestion they turn off the amplified music and keep the noise down. The general expectation in caravan parks is noise stops after 10pm. There were non Roadies trying to sleep in tents, and I suggested their activities would reflect badly on Aussie Road Crew and Beccy who might not be able to return to this park on future tours. Fortunately there was very little noise after my visit. We drove out of the Crows Nest Tourist Park just after 7am looking for a MacDonald's in Toowoomba for coffee and brekkie. Instead we spotted Valetta Cafe in time to park the van across the road. I bought a take away brioche egg and bacon roll and coffees. The cafe is i...

Around Chinchilla

Image
The Condamine River is flowing over the Chinchilla Weir 5kms out of town. It has reached the 6m mark on the gauge and is an impressive sight. It is forecast to reach 8m by Tuesday in two days time. Chinchilla has suffered several floods when Charley's Creek rises. This is the post office in the 2010-2011 flood and as it was today. On 28 December 2010 the water level at Chinchilla Weir topped 15m. Despite this history of repeated flooding Chinchilla appears to be a prosperous town with many community facilities such as a water park, 700 seat cultural centre, and major road improvements. Many of the out of town workers are employed by QCG, a Shell company "producing" natural gas in the Surat Basin - presumably this means collecting the gas by fracking. Just down the road there is accommodation for 1,000 workers in Stayover so the town is benefiting from the presence of this large workforce. Tilly finally slept through the night. Today I kept her outside as much as possible ...
