Lightning Ridge is still the great interesting piece of Australia. Spent the morning on a mine tour where a retired miner is carving the sandstone walls. There are over 500 carvings and are not to be missed. Spent the afternoon soaking in the Hot Bore baths, and if you have seen the movie "Cocoon" use your imagination. Off to Injune tomorrow.

Finally on the road and made Peak Hill for the first night. Almost empty caravan park with good facilities. Will be heading for Lightning Ridge tomorrow. Looking foward to a plunge in the hot springs pool and a day in town.
