After leaving Broken Hill we travelled through some wild wild west landscape, no trees just bracken and thistle and red dirt.
That night we stopped at Oodla Wirra - and about 50 metres from the quarantine checkpoint. We ate all our vegies here apart from 2 onions which we handed over - naughty naughty!!!
The landscape changes before our eyes and within a few hundred kilometres we start to pass through green fields full of sheep and rolling plains. It reminded me of England. Beautiful homesteads and small towns, heritage buildings of sandstone. Miles of huge wind generators lined the landscape.
Canola is a well grown crop in these parts and the fields of yellow gold in the sunshine were lovely
We stopped along the way at Mount Bryan OMG it was soooo cold - out came the scarves and the beanies, even Buddy had to put his little jumpy on.
A quick pitstop at Manoora and it's still freezing, we were looking for someone open to sell us hot chippies to warm us up.....
and then Auburn - where we found our hot chippies - YAY!!!! This is only 10 minutes away from Balaklava and is a beautiful heritage town. A place to explore on our days off.
We come to the top of a hill and we see Balaklava in the distance
and here's the wheat that we eat
We have been exploring our new town and it's a fairly laid back small town.
Yesterday we filled out our employment packs, got fitted with our steel cap boots and Viterra shirts. Now off for our induction session so will update you later
