DAY 66

3rd October
Yunta to Broken Hill

Arrived at Broken Hill about 9.30am so went to info centre and decided to look around. Went to the lookout and Memorial for the mines. This gave us a good view over the town and the Memorial had everyone's names who had died in the mines from the 1800s to present day why they died and their age. Very interesting reasons that changed over the years. Lots of lead poisoning in the early days. We found a huge seat and Nev told me to wait for the bus!!!!

Nev told me to catch the bus back!!!!!!

We visited Jack Absolom Gallery and old Jack 85years was there. Next we went to Pro Hart Gallery. Both were very interesting.

We then drove out to Silverton an old deserted mining town the original settlement before Broken Hill. This has been the site for many movies eg Mad Max and Priscilla The old pub was intereting had a drink there and read all the memoribillia about the stars.

Drove out to Mundi Mundi Lookout where you can see so far that you can actually see the curvature of the earth.
At sunset we went to the Living Desert Sculptures, they are large sandstone rocks carved by diferent artists from around the world.
