Broken Hill trip

We went up there to look at the sculptures.
What an amazing setting.
360 degree view.
Sculptures all from a symposium and built on site over 2 months.
They say the rock was very hard.
Quite a challenge to work with.


While we were up there a couple of wallabies came along.
I had noticed one of the bushes had been grazed upon.
They were not afraid of humans and carried on with their brunch.
They blend very well with the bush,
(smack bang in the midddle)


A lot of the street names are minerals and stones.
Like Oxide St and Crystal St, Bromide and Chloride St's
Who took the B out of Beryl


As a potter
I thought it fitting that we stayed on Kaolin Street


A very interesting place
Check out what the other potters have been up to this week

Kaolin Street

We went away for the weekend.

Broken Hill is just a few hours down the road.
     Mad Max country!

                                            
                                    

The desert is beautiful and we were listening to
The John Butler Trio which often has digeredoo in their songs.

It really helped to bring the landscape to life.
Plenty of goats and emu's along the highway. Its a travel in the daytime trip.
We stayed on Kaolin Street.
More later.
