Billy the Goat
We had an early morning visitor at the Spring Hill rest area. While having breakfast, we were visited by Billy, the goat. He was very friendly and shared some raisin toast with us. We spent the day visiting Broken Hill. First stop was the information centre, where we joined a 2 hour tour of the city. The whole town is heritage listed and after viewing some of the buildings in the main street, one could understand why. We were informed that there are no free camp sites near Broken Hill as its a 'national park'. After having a chat with a few locals, we were discouraged to camp in the rest areas or the roadside. So, we bit the bullet and dropped T.J off at the Broken Hill Caravan Park for safety reasons.
We visited Silverton and checked out a 40 acre cemetery. It had a nice monument at the entrance but there was an eerie feeling about this area, it's filled with Australian history. We stopped by at the local jail but thought a cold beer at the Silverton Pub would be nicer. We had a quick look at the Mad Max museum before heading back into town. We visited the mine lookout, which had a great view of Broken Hill.

Billy joined us for breakfast. He had some white bread, raisin toast and cereal with milk. Back to T.J for dinner and a few beverages before bed.
