We made a visit or two with Slap Happy and Lusty Pearl whilst in town. Albeit not participating in cowboy shooting now, they were instrumental to cowboy shooting in this region and both their sons very accomplished in more than this discipline also.

We headed out this morning to seek some parts to fix the car but will need to look at it later as it’s more than just a couple new plugs.

Out to Silverton for a quick look again we drove to the Mad Max 2 Museum.

As we’ve visited the galleries before and it’s too early for the pub we hit up the Bakery for a coffee and apple turnover.

22km’s back to Broken Hill and around another 10km’s out to the Living Desert Sculptures.

An interesting visit to interpretive works by many sculptors from around the world.

We could have walked another 2.2km trail but the flies were keeping us from venturing far!

Back into town again we made our way to the Line of Lode Miners Memorial in grand prominence overlooking the city of Broken Hill.

The cafe/visitors centre is no longer operational but the memorial is unique and recognizes some 800 miners from 1800’s through to 2019 that have lost their lives working the mines in Broken Hill.

It’s a poignant space looking out from the mullock (pile of mining waste material), formed of steel timber and glass.

For some reason there is an oversized park bench up there also……yep, you know I had to! 😂

Thanks Broken Hill for a little more history and culture! Tomorrow we move onto South Australia.

Stay safe in your travels!
