FLASHBACK: Day Dream Mine, Outside Broken Hill

Cam & I had a great day after the conference hanging out in Broken Hill & spending some time at the sites we stumbled across during the conference. The best was the Day Dream Mine, out near Silverton (where the Mad Max mobile was located.

Our tour included this cute little pup who was awful hot in the direct sunshine. I don't remember what his name was, but lets just call him 'Pete.'

I've been underground in a handful of mines, mostly in Michigan and Minnesota. This one, was much more interesting that most. The ceilings were very low, there were hand made signs telling you of escape routes, and it was family run.

Of course, they did the obligatory "lets see what it was like if your candle/light went out" too. Cam even volunteered to hold the drill bit while our guide was going to demonstrate how they would hit it (the lights were on at this point).


Our time to spend in Broken Hill was winding down, and a few more stops & walk around was all we could muster in before hitting the road again in April.
