Water reservoir in Cobar

Thursday 07th of July
Cobar - Dubbo
Slow start in Cobar, washing first, checking emails and the web, then on the road again, filling fuel, checking oil and water, tires pressure refilled. On the road lonely, tired, boring ... music playing loud.
I picked up Benjamin at a bus stop hitch hiking: nice chat, local guy, nice coffee break, told me al lot about farming, wild pigs, his journeys, we spend half a day: great; thank you.
Shopping in Dubbo and calling my host, she is home.
Very nice evening with some great fresh made food: I enjoyed it greatly.

rain in the desert

Sunday 03rd of July 2011
White Cliffs
Today: rain!
After two hour car drive I reached Wilcannia, I thought this place to be the same town like Broken Hill and it is absolutely not! Most people are Aboriginals and only a total of about 500. One filling station and a little shop, that's about it.
I had a hitch-hiker all the way and it was ok. No pleasant place this Wilcannia. I had some food and the tank filled with expensive petrol. And back on the sealed road to White Cliffs I was heading. Always rain fall in between, not strong, but some rain.
I walked around the mound nothing special or great to be seen. Rain starts again, lucky being back in.
Chatting with some people, nice dinner full house, holiday started yesterday, so many families and their kids are out here.

Broken Hill Road

01st of June 2011 Friday
Broken Hill
I was up late took my time, drove into town, left the car outside of a shop. Walked to the Arboretum and made photographs. Just photographing all day.
I had lunch in the fancy café on top of the huge slag heap in the middle of town. Nice views over the city and the surrounding hills.
Had I nap, being real tired, do not why, anyway had a rest, heading back to the place I stay at. Got into talking with Keith about the iron wood and the fire wood. Laura called, I picked her up and we drove out of town to the sculpture park for the sunset. Some people out there. Me camera's battery pack empty: no shots! Back in town, a short rest then out for a gallery event from the charity event.

Umperthon sink-hole in Mount Gambier

Sunday 19th of June 2011
Mount Gambier
I visited the Umperthon sink-hole by push bike I could hire in the public library for free. But it had a flat tire right there, so I walked all the way back and decided to read magazines until it was time to move.
Sitting in the library I had a tea and some reading in a magazine about stray bail houses and energy efficient reconstruction of old small houses.
Raining like hell outside at the moment.
The bus comes 14:45 I got to move soon.

Mount Gambier - Adelaide
Jetzt bin ich etwas frustriert und aus dem Konzept, da ich den Zug heute verpasst habe, ich hatte 12:30 pm als Mitternacht interpretiert, aber es soll wohl Mittags gewesen sein.
Jedenfalls sitze ich jetzt hier in Adelaide mindestens 3 Tage fest, da der nächste Zug erst dann wieder fährt und die Frage ist auch noch, ob ich überhaupt umbuchen kann.
Keine Ahnung was ich jetzt die nächsten Tage mache ...
