Blue Mts to Broken Hill

Well, it's the last day of our Broken Hill or bust road trip as we head from Parkes back to the Blue Mountains, reports CHRIS RILEY.

If any town can claim to have reinvented itself it's Parkes about 350km west of Sydney, a mecca for tourists with the iconic Dish and Elvis festival, reports CHRIS RILEY.

As our Broken Hill extravaganza draws to a close we journey to Parkes and its famous telescope that played such an important role in the 1969 Moon Landing, reports CHRIS RILEY.

We're peppered with grasshoppers on Day 11 of our Broken Hill expedition as we travel from Ivanhoe to Goolgowi in the State's north-west, reports CHRIS RILEY.

Day 10 on Broken Hill expedition and we make a stop for fuel in Wilcannia, reports CHRIS RILEY.

Day Nine of our trip to Broken Hill finds us face to face with some serious Australiana in the outback mining town of White Cliffs, reports CHRIS RILEY.

We bid farewell to Broken Hill as we head out to the opal fields of White Cliffs and the Underground Motel for a couple of nights of R&R, reports CHRIS RILEY.

It's Day 7 of our road trip and Broken Hill continues to amaze with its many historic and off the wall attractions, reports CHRIS RILEY.

So . . . like many Aussies our overseas holiday was cancelled because of the COVID pandemic. What to do?...

We travel to the amazing Lake Mungo National Park with its ancient artefacts in the far west of the state, reports CHRIS RILEY.
