Well we survived it! We have returned from our adventure to Lake Eyre in relatively one piece! What an amazing time we have all had, one that we will not forget. So sad it is over, we will definitely miss the wide open spaces and big sky country. Already hating the Sydney traffic! Oh well,we will just have to start planning the next trip! :)

Okay so after a day of driving in the rain we made it to Dubbo (or as Emily calls it, Dumbo). Had a lunch stop at Subway at Cobar and a change of driver, yes Craig let Roma into the driving seat all the way to Nyngan! It is raining non stop but thankfully our last set up with Geri was done in light rain.

We loved the paintings by John Dynon and nearly bought one as a reminder of this trip however we have put off for the moment. Visited the Mad Max 2 museum which ...

We have arrived in Silverton which is 22kms outside Broken Hill. Set up camp at an old picnicking area for the Broken Hill locals in the 50's and 60's called Penrose Park. A little run down now but a great place to camp. There were some animals to keep the kids amused; Sarah Jane the Pony, Peacocks, Ginny was the sheep and Sunshine, Dolly and Rose the Goats!
