Our next stop in Silverton was to stop in and chat with artist John Dynon, or Dyno to his mates. John’s studio in a corrugated shed, brightly coloured with many unusual pieces adorning the walls. He is also known as the emu man, painting emus as part of his works.
In 1985 he became a full time artist to meet the demand that had grown for his paintings.
John paints the Outback, its flowers, its unique colours and some of its more interesting features. https://www.store.johndynon.com.au/


The next stop on our Silverton visit is The Mad Max II Museum. Even if you are not a fan, there is so much to see in this gallery. It is amazing, from photos taken at filming to recordings and also written information around the walls,, You could spend hours here. Phill chats with Adrian, who had a dream and moved his family from the other side of the world to Silverton in the outback to make his dream come true.https://silverton.org.au/experience/attractions/mad-max-museum/embed/#?secret=O2ZBphcQNB



Whilst in the caravan park Phill chatted with a group of people travelling on pushbikes. Phill and Mallaki talk about their trip, riding pushbikes. They call themselves the Campbelltown Joggers, but they gave up the jogging to ride bikes. They were in training for their ride from Darwin to Adelaide. We have made contact to see if their trip actually went ahead with the lockdowns, did they get our in time?
