The back story of how we got to Broken Hill

So where were we dear reader,  unexpectedly over night at Leigh Creek. We found some accommodation and had dinner at the only place in town - the pub of course and called it a night. With still no travel angels appearing in the morning, we walked back to the airport. On the way we were stopped by the local council guy, who informed
us we were illegaly parked and yes he had given Jabi a parking Post-It. How were we to know the Jabi parking rules in Leigh Creek? :) Anyway before you think too unkindly of Leigh Creek council, read further. Monday morning at Leigh Creek airport is a happening thing. Two flights in-bound and one Jabi to take off. All good, until we realised Jabi had a  cold battery and spluttered and stammered a bit. No take-off. By this stage all was again quiet UNTIL the local cleaner Trish arrived. We tried to jump start Jabi via her car, that cable was JUST not long enough. Then Trish KINDLY offered to drive in and bring back the airport manager. You guessed it,  who showed up but the parking post-it man. Who was very helpful, gave us a jump start and off we went and all is well again. A quick flight to Broken Hill via the scenic Flinders Ranges followed.


  
We've had a fun day sightseeing in Broken Hill and another b-b-q  dinner and wine awaits.
Will catch up shortly with a photo post of Lake Eyre and Channel Country. No words required for that post. Off to Parkes tomorrow. It's all great!
