The Vast Flat to Broken Hill

 

Leaving the verdant rolling valleys of Clare, the expedition struck out for Broken Hill and the vast flat of the interior of Australia.

The further north and east the expedition progressed, the drier the landscape became.

Once again, the vast flat of the interior opened before the expedition.

Don’t forget to rest!

 

 

Near the border with New South Wales, the expedition stopped for lunch at an isolated roadhouse.  The inside was plastered with road train memorabilia.  The lone worker who doubled as cashier and cook pulled out some kangaroo meat to make a few burgers.  He reminded the expedition of certain characters from the American movie Deliverance.  The expedition moved on quickly to Broken Hill.
