This morning we left to go to Broken Hill. On the way we stopped at Petersborough and James and I got a finger bun while Dad and Mum got a coffee. The information centre we went to was actually an old train carriage. It had beds in it. After this we drove for a long time.
We arrived at Broken Hill and had lunch. As soon as we set up we went to the park (opposite our caravan site) . It had swings, round-a-bouts and springy toys. I also went for a run around the caravan park with Dad.
DAY 2:
This morning we went to the Information centre and got a key to go to the Desert Sculptures. As drove in and out of the Desert Park, we saw rock wallabies and kangaroos – I took some pictures of them with my camera. I also took lots of pictures of the Desert Sculptures. It was freezing out at the Sculptures because the wind was very strong.
At the Silver City Mint Museum we saw lots of paintings, but the biggest painting was 12 m x 100m. It was huge and felt like it was coming out at you. There was also a chocolate factory and they had lolly dummies, chocolate and fudge. I bought some strawberry fudge.
We then went to the Pro Hart gallery. Outside the gallery was a Rolls Royce car which Pro Hart had painted. Inside the gallery there were huge paintings of Australian outback scenes (gold diggers, bush rangers, mining life) as well as a dragon fly. It was interesting how with one painting he used a cannon to shoot Christmas baubles full of paint onto the canvas.
This afternoon we went to the Soda Factory where they make sodas like they did in the 1950’s. Since I don’t really like ice cream, I had a cherry ripe chocolate instead.
