Orange to Peterborough SA

Well our first two weeks of travelling with Bec, Glen, Max & Emma is now over and whilst we've had some 'interesting' weather, we've had some great times!
Heading off on Saturday 24th, after a lovely visit with Betty (Rob's mum) - we made it as far as Cobar for the first night. The only change we noticed in the 12 months since we last pasted through was how wet, lush & green it all was.  Water laying everywhere (and Mosquito's laying in wait also).


We had an eventful trip to Broken Hill on the second day with Glen & Bec doing a tyre on their caravan.  The spare looked a bit dodgy, however we were really lucky that a local man in Wilcannia had a 2nd hand spare that he could give them ($50 fitted)  On a Sunday too - so we were all really grateful.  Wilcannia too has had their share of rain.  Emma didn't care - she's happy to play in either the dirt or the mud! 


   

 

Broken Hill is a really interesting town and well worth a visit.

However a point to note - book ahead as apparently everyone wants to visit.  We were able to stay the one night but booked out after that.  It did however allow Glen time to buy 2 new tyres and fix the hitch on his van.  Then off to Peterborough.
