Day 4

Slight delay to plans..... the fridge in the back of the car playing up. Had it fixed in Broken Hill then noticed that the bracket holding the springs  suspension on one side of the camper was broken. Bummer- so another night in Broken Hill and have it fixed tomorrow.
So spent the day in Broken Hill. The main street is really something. Lots of quaint cottages, impressive buildings of stone esp the court house and police station. We went to the Pro Hart gallery which was good. Saw the biggest painting in the world done on canvas. It is a landscape of the area around Broken Hill - really great. We also visited the Sculptures in the desert at sunset- really spectacular. It is a group of sculptures sitting on top of a hill about 12klms outside of Broken Hill. At sunset the light reflects off the sculptures and is amazing. Can see where Pro Hart got his inspiration. The desert out here is beautiful now with all the recent rain and floods. There are abundant wildflowers and it is so green.

Hopefully tomorrow we can get into South Australia.
