We continued our journey along the Cobb Hwy, when we travelled this road there is major roadworks being done to transform the road from red dust to bituman. There was only a 40 km stretch that is still being worked on. Even though its dirt it is a good surface to drive. We continued on through Wilcannia and headed through to Broken Hill.

An oasis in the desert or should I say outback. Our first stop on this visit is to the Palace hotel. Now every trip must include a stop here, the murals on the walls are amazing and this is the hotel where they filmed scenes from Priscilla Queen of the Desert in 1994. The hotel was built in 1889 and cost 12,190 pounds. Each September they hold the Broken heel festival a must see if you are out this way. https://www.bhfestival.com/, http://www.thepalacehotelbrokenhill.com.au/

We stayed at the Broken Hill Tourist Park, a short drive from the centre of town. Great park plenty of room. It is part of the G’day family. There is an outdoor heated pool so you can swim all year round and a great camp kitchen and is pet friendly. https://www.brokenhilltouristpark.com.au/

Many different rooms with paintings and local craft. there is also a chocolate factory to finish off with. It measures 100 metres long and 12 metres tall. https://www.silvercitymint.com.au/
