Another pretty big day of driving – about seven hours all up, five and half to the Flinders and then one and a half to our accommodation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continue my role as trip leader. This time delegating cooking and cleaning. Cait cooked a nutritious fried rice last night (no chips!) followed up by bacon and eggs this morning with the leftovers. Good work team. Keep it up! DW. The house had to be spotless so we didn’t end up on Doug’s blog. JRT <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don’t let that cheeky smile fool you. Caitlin was very nearly in serious trouble for leaving another phone charger in some random accommodation. DW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Broken Hill as viewed from the top. We don’t have long to soak in the sights. Declan has set ambitious stretch goals for our day. CR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What cuties. JRT.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A clearly home-made helicopter did some concerning nose dives next to the highway. This spurred voracious feedback from the car. JRT.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bob, The Railway Dog, excites and delights in Petersbourgh. Because of this offering of love to Bob, I don’t get food poisoning from the lunchtime chicken yeeros. CR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dek showed a special interest in the Petersborough train. JRT. I was born 60 years too late and 300km too far south. DW. We were here for about 40 seconds, bang on average duration of Declan’s hobbies. CR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think anything more needs to be said. DW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After smashing the morning’s stretch goals out of the park, I am permitted one Area of Interest on the drive. This privilege was revoked for a while when Declan was stressed we’d be late for our pick up in the Flinders. But when we called Dave (our transit driver), he had completely forgotten about our booking, so we had an extra hour free. I made the most of this by visiting Greg Duggan Reserve, a must do in Petersbourgh. Not only do you get to survey this field, you can also look at their water storage facility (sadly behind me in this photo). Here we enjoyed a coffee from a dreadlocked cafe owner who moved to Petersbourgh from the sunshine coast solely based on low house prices. When asked whether business is going well she just sighed and said “it might pick up”. Petersbourgh was a bit sad. CR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Carrietown was tiny but very beautiful. If I lived here I would own a horse. I took this photo because it would be easy to forget Carrietown in the chaos of life, but I’d like to remember it. CR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blinmen Hotel hosted us for dinner where I had a roo schnitty. We are all intimidated by Bazza, the 80 year old bar tender who spends a week each month in the area, sleeping in a van outside and ‘womanising’. CR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
