After such long travels in the car, we finally reached the location for the conference: BROKEN HILL. We took about 400 pictures during less than a week, but I will spare you all of them except about a dozen over a few posts.
Be patient, many of these will include industry! Broken Hill was the most famous mine in Australia.
Mostly we went to former industries, but were able to get into a portion of Perilya, the on-going mining operations. The image to the left is from part of the plant built under art-deco architecture.
We also checked out a local sheep station, which was home to many bathtubs used to collect the sparse drops of rain water.
One evening, we headed to a sculpture garden to watch the sun set while sipping wine. It was breathtaking and particularly colorful.
We also went to the infamous Silverton Hotel current home to Mad Max's wicked cool car.
Next FLASHBACK will continue in Broken Hill.
