ANSWERED PRAYER

DAY 4

Mr Fix it

Went straight to a Computer Repair place, left the computer with them.  Was told they would ring and let us know what the problem was before fixing it.  From there we found an Electrical Wholesaler so John could buy a new plug for the electric on the caravan/car.  Then back to the Caravan park to do some repairs.  (even that wasn't straight forward)



Railway Museum



Township of Broken Hill

 On a positive note, the computer righted itself so I'm not sure what thats all about.  Anyway I spent the afternoon making sure everything was saved to the external hard drive.  While I was doing this John went and had a look at the Railway Museum and around the town.

BROKEN HILL

DAY 3

small wild life

Larger wild life

Lovely sunny day. Saw some wild life today.

John also collected some soil samples (this is for you Greg).

Staying at a Caravan Park for the next couple of days so we can recharge the computor and fill up with water. 


Silverton



Sculpture Garden



Miners Memorial

 After lunch did a bit of investigating.  Went out to Silverton (very old town) then went to the "Living Desert and Sculpture Gardens and then ending the day at the Miners Memorial.

INCIDENT 5  After tea decided to start my blog (for the second time) and the computor would not start.  Absolutely dead.  Took battery out and tried again...........nothing.  So had a little panick attack and decided to try and get it repaired.  (lots of praying)

ITS ONLY DAY 3 AND ALREADY WE ARE UP TO INCIDENT NO. 5

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

DAY 2

It rained all night, still raining today and the temperature is around 15 deg.  Left our camp spot around 8.30 and only about 1 hour after we started driving did we get


Mr Fix It



INCIDENT 3:  I remembered that I had forgotten to shut the cupboard door in the bathroom, so we stopped to investigate and sure enough things were everywhere. 

INCIDENT 4 :  Stopped at Warren to get some petrol and John noticed the plug that connects the electric breaks from the caravan to the car had come off and had been dragging along the road.  Some of the wires had broken so a patch up job had to take pleace.  Decided to have some morning tea before continuing on, so went to a little cafe (only one in the town).  John ordered Humingbird Cake (which came out with green icing) and I ordered a date scone (which was the size of a 20cent piece) nothing like country cooking.

Continued on staying at another freeby "MacCullocks Range" about 120 klms east of Broken Hill.



ON OUR WAY

Ready to go

DAY 1

Left home on Friday 15th making our first stop at Tuggerah (last minute supplies) then up through Singleton heading towards Cobar.  Stopped at a little rest area for lunch then continued on.  We hadn't been driving long before we heard a loud scraping noise coming from behnd the car. 

INCIDENT 1 : the jockey wheel had come loose and was dragging along theground.  How lucky were we , it didn't dig into the road. No major damage.

INCIDENT 2 : Went to put the hazzard lights on and they wouldn't come one.



Mendorran Rest Area

 Countryside is very flat, haven't seen any kangaroo's as yet.  Stopped at Mendorran Rest Area for the night.  Lovely big area.  Had our first open fire.
