BROKEN HILL / SILVERTON

On the 16th September 2006, Our family along with three other families left the comfort of our homes and headed on a 4 x4 camping adventure - Destination - Cameron's Corner - NSW.
After a full days driving and setting up camp in Broken Hill, dinner was cooked, served and gobbled up with dishes done we spent the rest of the night chatting and planning the day ahead, then bed it was. A great nights sleep was had by all., Next morning we were off bright and early to explore -
Silverton - Outback NSW.

Below - St.Carthage Catholick Church Built in 1886 - Popular with film makers. It has featured in a number of films and television productions.

All The Children enjoyed a Camel Ride, Yours truly managed to get onto the back of a camel but as for going for a ride NO WAY!! Quick pose for a photo and that was IT!! After a day of exploring we went back to the tent site to freshin up have a bite to eat and then we were off again to to wait for the sun to set and do its magic on the rock carvings. Below is a photo of my Son Shark and Meows Daughter Chicky. Holding the sun as it sets in their hands - I love this photo!

Hey Melinda, love the black background ... shows up the photos nicely. I always loved that photo of our 2 kids with the setting sun ... it is spectacular. It was a great holiday, wasn't it ?? I'd do it again tomorrow (not sure you feel the same way, though LOL).
Take care, hugs, Connie xx

That last picture is beautiful, Melinda. The camel is quite...cute?... too. Maybe cute in an unusual way is more accurate.

I wouldn't do that particular trip again, but the only reason would be that I have now done it and there are so many other places to visit. I did enjoy myself I really did. I am still hoping to one day do Central Australia.

Utenzi:
I love that last photo of Shark and Chicky, it's just a shame I didn't see that Sharks hand wasn't in quite the right position. but oh well never mind. The camel one mmm not sure not sure what I think. LOL I really cant say he is cute.

Take Care - Smiles - Melinda

Hey Melinda, I just sat down and watched my DVD on this trip, and it makes me want to do it again. It was such fun, but wasn't it a shame about the windy day when we went to Lake Mungo. I can't wait to go there again.
Take care, hugs, Connie xx
