Heading East

After heading through up country we spent a couple of days in Esperance.

Then headed back across the Nullarbor.

 Through the Gawler Ranges.

And on to the Flinders Ranges. We had planned to spend more time there but the skies opened while we were at Wilpena. We sought advice from the ranger who said "Go back to bed with a hot water bottle". The road north was closed due to flooding and the dirt roads were unsafe.

We decided to head through the Southern Flinders to Peterborough where we learned about its railway history at Steam Town. We then spent a couple of days in Broken Hill where we visited galleries and had tea at the Palace Hotel which was featured in Pricilla Queen of the Desert.

Tonight we are in Cobar and heading north toward Lightning Ridge tomorrow.
