Silverton Broken Hill was a bit pricy so we stayed at Penrose Park in Silverton, (bottom right) the park used to be the recreational centre of Broken Hill with families picnicking and camping. There was a train ride, tennis courts all forms of camping and BBQ areas, sadly it has become rundown but still suitable as a low cost overnighter for us.

Once setup we jumped on the bikes and took in the sights of the town, including trying out the chips at Silverton Pub. The barmaid who served me had to be the grumpiest person I have met this trip...worse than Jan when I’ve done the wrong thing .... but the chips were OK. It seems everywhere we go there are catpaws or double gs (three cornered thorns) spread all over the ground, I had “thorn proof” tubes fitted to the bikes but they are not good enough for these things, I’m getting sick of fixing punctures.
