Into NSW

After 2 days at Port Augusta we were ready to leave on the last day we ran up to Quarn in the Stirling ranges did not know it was there after all the times we have been in port Augusta we will have to spend more time here on another trip as no time now

Travelled up through Petersburough not as nice as I remember it
As it is a railway town here is their mascot
He was the train drivers dog and when he died he hopped on any train he cared to and travelled all over the country
 All the rest stops on the barrier highway in S.A. are crap stopped just outside Broken Hill visited Siverton a ghost town where many movies were filmed including mad max
Sorry I am having problems up loading photos will try again later
any way Siverton looked good we then went down to the Silverton silver mine after a long unsealed road with the van in tow passing through two gates to open and close much to Marion's  distress

As soon as we passed the NSW border the road side stops improved 300% good on ya NSW
we moved on through many towns although the Barrier highway is not the most interesting of roads
we passed through the shire of Bogan For a few minutes I thought I was on the way to Rockingham
So we are in Dubbo the nights still dip below zero and the Bourbon bottle just emptied so I will try and up date with pictures later


Hopefully the photos will follow pls click on pics to enlarge

    1. Hi Michael I am having a blast but sometimes I think it is a blast of cold air 15 nights of below zero temperatures ranging from -1 to -7 starting to get beyond a joke now anyhow we are in Queensland now and it has warmed up we will see if ice is all over the car again in the morning
