Silverton.

We left Peterborough and travelled along the Barrier Highway to Cockburn where we stopped for lunch  outside the bustling caravan park (ha ha!) and took Darryl's photo at the school where Murray attended when his Dad was station master.

     

 Then through Broken Hill we went and onto Penrose Park at Silverton. The park was pretty busy but we found a good spot and set up nicely positioned to get the most out of the solar power. (Very important consideration!) It's encouraging to see the park has a few new amenities - a lovely camp kitchen, an undercover BBQ area, a great undercover playground and even a new laundry! There's also some newish picnic, BBQ and campfire areas and there's even someone playing tennis on the court by us. The last time we were here it was looking a bit neglected - though there are still bindiis, apostle birds and some run down facilities. It's a great spot to stay and suits us as we can be by ourselves and enjoy a camp fire and we aren't regimented. 

        Camp Bray / Greenwood.

This morning was very frosty but the day has been lovely and sunny and we've been lapping that up 🌞🌞. We toured Silverton and gee it was busy - the pub had a motorcycle group roll up as well as the car club and other visitors. We'll pick a quieter time to pop in and have a drink. We visited the school where Murray attended in his first year at school and saw photos from the past - his Dad was train Station Master here before transferring to Cockburn. 

           Here we are at the Silverton School.

    

    These donkeys roam the common and are quite tame. Horses and cows also roam and we had to stop on the  way here yesterday as the horses were crossing the road.

Tops and I had been led to believe that we'd be taken out for lunch but with the pub full and the cafe very busy as well, we ended back in camp for leftovers and soup. Maybe tomorrow?? As it turned out, it was just as well we were here as Brad and Bubs Hein and boys called in then Pete McDonald and boys. They are all staying in Broken Hill. 

       Some of the crowd at the Silverton Pub - more arrived after this was taken.

We are now at the Mundi Mundi lookout to enjoy the sunset with a wine and beer.

      

Tomorrow we hit Broken Hill so more reminiscing. Trust all's well with our readers. From Mundi Mundi, love from us.
