Not getting around to post this till the 27th but the following was on the 18th or 19th. Been to busy having a good time and socializing.
As Linda and I had previously stayed at Broken Hill twice it was a chance for us to get some blogging and maintenance done while Jan and Ross went sightseeing. For our last afternoon in Broken Hill we dried out from the rain we had and had a walk around the huge cemetery which was next door to the van park. Went and saw Pro Hart’s grave. He was a no fuss sort of guy and probably didn’t want such an opulent grave but apparently his wife did.

Then had a look at the site of the gun battle which took
place on a hill on the outskirts of town. In 1915 two Afghani camel herders who were
Turkish sympathisers opened fire on a picnic train killing some civilians. The
Police and volunteer town people went after them and shot them dead.
