Good friend Paul rode down to South Australia from Queensland last summer. On a whim we decided to ride back to Broken Hill with him, stay the night and return home. It was a very hot 2 days, over 40degrees as we passed through Olary. The top photo taken at the Silverton Hotel is about 25km from Broken Hill. In the picture you can see the black Ford Falcon used in a Mad Max Movie. The movie was filmed around the Broken Hill area and if you watch the movie you will recognize the scenery. I love the picture of Paul giving me the "bird" as we are riding side by side on the Barrier Highway. Was there any RoadKill, yes you could smell it even if you couldn't see it on the roadside.........hot decomposing flesh.
There is something mesmerising about riding through a huge flat landscape. A sort of reality check for both the body and spirit
