Sydney to Broken Hill via Orange & Cobar

We left Sydney at "the crack of noon" on Tuesday and were delayed by a motor vehicle accident near De Burgh's Bridge before heading west via Bell's Line of Road.Then we went through rain, an amazing hailstorm and sleet near the Zig Zag Railway. We spent our first night in the beautiful city of Orange. Next day we enjoyed gorgeous scenery as the countryside is so lush and green. We've been thoroughly enjoying travelling in our campervan. It's behaving well and so are we! After visiting the large open cut gold mine in Cobar, we stayed in an excellent caravan park there. After a mostly uneventful trip, apart from having to travel for a considerable distance behind a large vehicle carrying heavy machinery which took up the whole roadway, we reached Broken Hill this afternoon and are now staying in lovely facilities provided by the Church of Christ where we will stay for several days. Tomorrrow we head off to Silverton as well as visit other historic sights.
