BROKEN HILL- ONE
SUNDAY 4/11/2012
Well how do I start this one. Oh yeah I know, We have been up and down this same stretch of highway 3 times in the past 2 weeks. But the good things that have come out of it are:
Kiera riding her first horse
Kiera trying mulberry's for the first time
Kiera nursing a 2 month old joey, she called Molly
Me patting a bearded dragon
Kiera feeding calf
Meeting some lovely new friends 
And yeah we are back in Broken Hill, for a job interview and then another phone call for another job in Wakerie. What’s that old saying
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. While’ll Dave changed the fuel filter.
Tonight we are staying in free parking at EDC, Thank you Steve. Dave has a job interview tomorrow.

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.
The committee have a meeting on Thursday night and Cheryl is trying to get me to be care taker of the race course and that will help knock our rent down.
