Parked in sunny Parkes

Greetings dear reader from Parkes, we had an enjoyable day in Broken Hill yesterday. Reacquainted with the mighty car we visited the Royal Flying Doctor Service, what great work they do, then out to Silverton an historic mining town and the place where Mad Max 2 was filmed (apparently), followed by an interesting underground tour of Daydream silver mine, walked around the Living Desert and Sculptures and retired to a nice cafe in Argent Street. 

       



Joy of joys, Jabi started first attempt this morning, with no sluggish battery we flew east over the Menindee Lakes and green (yes very green) farms - amazing what rain can do - to arrive in Parkes mid afternoon. 

No doubt dear reader you are thinking we are on our final stop.....think again! As many of you probably know from first hand experience, Sydney is having WILD weather, far too wild to land Jabi tomorrow (Thursday). So, we are extending our stay in Parkes and will get to know central NSW over the next few days.

So weather permitting, insha'allah we will Jabi into Wollongong on Saturday....but let's just see what happens.

P.S. Note to all Sydney readers, it's crisp, sunny and clear here :)



Hopefully we'll get back to Sydney before we look like this
