Had a long day today. Tony and Jen left home at 4:30 AM we left at 5:00. Met up at the Service Centre in Calder Park at 6:00 and had breakfast. Had morning tea a Charlton and lunch at Ouyen. Poor 
Jen got a really bad deal; initially they brought the wrong order, then when she reordered, the avocado on her wrap was a nice dark brown. I seriously don’t know how they could dish that up let alone charge for it. We then drove onto Mildura where she bought something to her liking.
Coming along the Calder Highway was very pretty (once we got out of the fog), there are many species of wattle in bud and quite a few in flower, it will be wonderful in a week or two. The Silver City Highway (Mildura to Broken Hill) had lots more wildlife – Emus and goats, few kangaroos, than we saw last time we were here (last year), the season must be very kind to them. And….we saw SUN!
We had a bit of a disappointment when we got to Broken Hill (5:40), the very nice miner’s cottage that we had booked was not vacant. This cottage is used by the RACV for stranded people with car trouble – we stayed there last year when we were in difficulties. There were some people there whose car parts still had not turned up. Sigh. We have found a cabin where Tony and Jen stayed before, not as nice but it is a roof over our heads and we are all dead tired. We have just got back from tea – nice Italian meal. Tony is pleased tonight was a 2 for one pizza night. he got 2 pizzas for the price of one.
