On the road again.....yeehaaaaaa

Our first stop after Lightning Ridge was Brewarrina, at a great spot called 4 mile camp 

After watching the sunset we had a lovely camp fire and dinner

We started out early and drove through the back of Bourke and then our next stop was Cobar.  From the opal mines we came into the gold, silver, copper and zinc mines. We parked up at a lovely spot on a big lake

Went for a stroll into Cobar - a very interesting little town

After coffee it was a lovely walk around the lake if you look way over in the distance you can see the bus in the background

Leaving Cobar we travelled to Little Topar via Wilcannia (it looked like a ghost town from a mad max movie) and fuel is way over priced. We were privy to the most spectacular display of wild flowers we have ever seen for about 200kms - long purple wildflowers lined the highways and fields of yellow and white flowers went as far as we could see - it sometimes looked like it had just snowed - it was absolute magic and mother nature at her finest.

We stopped for the night at Little Topar Roadhouse

A totally different landscape than anywhere we have stayed

An early start to the day we travelled to Broken Hill and across the time zone - where it is half an hour earlier and we are 50kms from the South Australian border - YAY!!!!!!

Went for a wander down the main street - this town has loads of character
