Mackenzie : Today we got to the South Australia border and then to Broken Hill. We played at the park while mum and dad setup and then we went into town. We went to an ABC store and mum and I went to Big W and Woolworths and when we came out it was night time.
So last night was the coldest night we have ever felt, the heater ran most of the night on 25 and it was still freezing. We woke up to be completely surrounded by fog and the car was frozen. We just had to wait it out as we still have the crack in the windscreen and we weren't going to risk pouring hot or cold water on it. We did a look around of Peterborough as Fletcher really wanted to see all the train exhibits, we didn't have time for the full museum but we saw as much as we could. We then set off heading for Broken Hill. We got to the border and stopped at the house/pub/café/petrol station there, not sure what it was called as it was all rolled into one, great little spot and so friendly. Although we had crossed the border it is sill SA time until after we leave Broken Hill, don't ask me, I have no idea and am a bit tired of this time difference thing. We are just doing 1 night stops at the moment, we love Broken Hill and have been here so many times, but we still did a lap of town before pulling up to the caravan park. We have stayed at this park before, we had rang another park to get prices and they had wanted $76 a night for an ensuite site with the kids.....what! Gosh 5 star ensuite or what, no thanks, we managed to secure an ensuite site at Lakeview for $50. We just felt like a bit of personal space, and at $50 it was a bargain. The kids played at the park for a while and we decided to go look in town. We had a bit of normality with a trip to the ABC store and the kids read some books and listened to CD's and then Big W and some groceries. After a big day driving we were in Woolworths till after dark so back to the van to cook and put the heater on.
