Such is the landscape and roadways, we have to go south to eventually go east. Anyway, there it is, destination, Peterborough.
We were welcomed to Peterborough by a model steam train, and knew that trains had played a large part in history here. In fact, all four entrances to Peterborough have a model train to welcome you.
The tourist information centre is housed in a railway carriage
There's also a couple of 'in tact' compartments
Here's 'Bob the Railway Dog' who has a similar story as 'Red Dog'
For lunch we had a pie .. it had to be the best pie of the trip and we were in good company, surrounded by movie stars. The Capital Theatre has been converted into a coffee shop .. with heaps of character ...
Today we said farewell to South Australia and hello (again) to NSW.
We've been touring around SA for four weeks and
tallied up 161 bird species.
It'll take us a few days to get out of the habit of waving to drivers, it's very big in SA. Everyone waves, not just the caravaners.
Once we crossed back into NSW, the waves were limited to caravaners.
It's also farewell to these signs .. a SA road safety initiative. We were very curious as to who it refers to. Are you?
Destination: Broken Hill
Here we are in Broken Hill - yes, short sleeves (for a few hours anyway). You can see that it's a bit 'cosy'.
Every kit should contain the TV Signal Finder .. this is before I wound up the TV aerial ! We may never leave !
I was interested to read the 'blurb' about Broken Hill that 'it's smack bang in the middle of nowhere'. Hah, well it is, but we're ready for exploring.
