Thankfully the rain stopped overnight and we were able to leave the tvan set up to dry this morning whilst we wandered around checking out Silverton.
This bakery van reminded me if the baker coming around delivering bread when I was a kid - it was exactly the same type of truck
And here we have the bottle top car!! - it's covered in bottle caps
Here is the ride-on lawnmower!!
The Silverton Hotel by daylight
It was about 11am when we went back through Broken Hill to do some grocery stock up and then to check out the Sculptures at the Living Desert Park on the hill about 10km out of town.
It was freezing cold today when we were checking out the sculptures - but it was well worth a look.
It would be lovely to visit this park in spring when the wildflowers are in bloom as there are some walks you can do through the arid plants desert park.
They are also in the process of building a campground out at this site. It would be great to check this out and stay here when it is completed.
Our plan after visiting the sculptures is to drive out to Menindee Lakes (about 110km) from Broken Hill and stay the night in the National Park campground.
Unfortunately when we get out to Menindee we find that access to the the NP campgrounds is closed - due to recent rains in the area-
So we go back 14 km, out of Menindee, to a caravan park at Copi Hollow on one of the other lakes.
This is a great tittle park and we have a very enjoyable evening and morning camping here on the lake.
