Camped at Broken Hill Racetrack for 5 days until the BIG Trek !
Motor homes are starting to arrive daily and we have already made some good friends here at the once grand St Patricks Race Course.The shower facilities need a lot to be desired and we had to use a double shower !! Toilets are first class and plenty of them (although they are a long way from our camp site!) Annie and I have told those noe here to tune into Channel 18 around 4.30pm (CB) so we can inform them of our Happy Hour thise evening here is just a little on Broken Hill and is an isolated mining city in the far west of outback New South Wales, Australia. The world’s largest mining company, BHP Billiton, has roots in the town.and is located near the border with South Australia on the crossing of the Barrier Highway (national route 32) and the Silver City Highway (national route 79), in the Barrier Range. It is 220 m (722 ft) above sea level, has an average rainfall of 235 mm (9 in) and summer temperatures that reach well over 40 °C (104 °F). The closest major city is Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, which is more than 500 km (311 mi) to the southwest. Unlike the rest of New South Wales, Broken Hill (and the surrounding region) observes Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9:30) a time zone it shares with South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Broken Hill has been called “The Silver City”, the “Oasis of the West”, and the “Capital of the Outback”. Although over 1,100 km (684 mi) west of Sydney and surrounded by semi-desert, the town has colourful park and garden displays and offers a number of attractions such as the Living Desert Sculptures.
