Today we checked out the the motel and had another walk around Broken Hill. We drove past Jack Absalom's gallery which was of interest as we have one of his paintings bought almost 50 years at the Anvil Gallery near Kiewa VIC.
After having a coffee back tg the Alfresco Cafe, we went to a particularly interesting local gallery (Broken Hill City Art Gallery).
This was full of some really interesting works by such people as Russell Drysdale, Arthur Streeton, Pro Hart and Jack Absalom
The building itself goes back to 1908 and has been beautifully renovated.
After that it was off to Menindie and Menindie Lakes. Menindie is a small town ( pop 70 ) on the banks of the Darling. The Lakes are a system of 9 shallow lakes which rely on water breaking over the banks of the Darling.
The Darling is the third longest river in Australia and is a tributary of the Murray which is the longest river in Australia.
After Menindie was headed for Mildura. As was the case with the Silver City Highway, it was a very quiet road with Pooncarie being the only small town along the route. It is also located on the Darling.
