IF IT DOSEN’T RAIN IT POURS

We left the Coombah roadhouse at 2.30pm and arrived in Broken Hill at 5pm.As we arrived in Broken Hill we had to stop and change another petrol filter.We pulled up at Peryila park a lovely spot at Broken Hill.  Kiera and I went for a walk and dangled are feet in the water, while’ll watching the ducks.

This morning Dave went for his job interview, he rang me and told me our clocks were 1/2hr out. So instead of being there at 7am he was there at 6.30am.. Dave brought the paper work back and I filled them out, he is now waiting on a call to have a medical before he starts work.

We went and saw Cheryl the chairperson of the race track and explained our situation and she has picked out a lovely spot for us at the race course. camp site race course 001camp site race course 002camp site race course 004camp site race course 005camp site race course 006camp site race course 081camp site race course 082

Dave fixed one of the locks on one of the doors. We had heavy rain last night and found out the road to Borrona Downs is closed,boy we certainly got out of there in time.
