Broken Hill

Gday Heather
The gathering was last September , that's why I still remember .
The Silverton camp area is quite nice. There are hot and cold showers and powered sites and plenty of space to be on your own.

G'day MUZBRY,
Yes, Dave & Nora did an excellent job for the gathering.
Mac,
Check my trip report of the activities and some of the sights that they had organized for us to do. EO Gathering 2011
Things to Visit are.
The Bog Picture
There is a trip to the Big Chair at the top of the hill, which over looks the place.
A trip out to Silverton is worth the drive, there is the Mad Max Museum.
While out there, stick around and watch the sun go down at Mundi Mundi

There is plenty to see around there.
Hope you enjoy your time there.

gets my vote too, definitely quieter than the other one.

Another heads up for the Lakeview Caravan Park. We have stayed there 3 times now...and it has been good. Better (IMO) than the other one down on the highway which has ....according to rumour and heresay....had some nocturnal visits from some local enterprising ....errr......uummm...."citizens" who had ideas that other folks stuff belonged to them. We always got an ensuite van site at the Lakeview...which probably made it a bit more attractive for us anyhow.

Cheers Keith

We did look at the Lakeside from the front last year but it looked like that because it was on the side of a hill that the sites were sloping.(May have just been our perception as we did not go in) We ended up in town at the top tourist one and had no problems there. It turned out to be a very nice park. Bob.

The non powered are on the hill and yes there is a slope we were in the non powered and had a flat part which there were plenty of.

Lakeview has our vote - stayed there in April this year - good clean and quiet

ha ha 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' - ah la Rumpole of the Bailey

[Hope you're not just lining me up for a criticism...I'm a misogynist so I'm allowed to misogynistic..it's in the Constitution]

Macca you have a great sense of humour !!

Yeah well !! My version of the old Rumpole of the Bailey saying is SHMBI !! Meaning "She Who Must Be Ignored"!! It works for me. Sometimes, now & then if you know what I mean. Sort of when she allows me to ignore her if you married blokes know what I mean, which is more or less never. LOL

Another one for the Lake View here Macca.

The sites are not on much of a slope. I have not had any problems as yet.

As it is on the hill at least you will get a breeze if there is one to be had. Been there twice and it was good.

Word of advice. Have a shower when everyone else is showering or it will be cold.

Yep, the sort of instantaneous gas system they have there works best under load.
If you go over for a shower when there is no one else there it is not enough load and it will be cold. The manager told me to turn the shower on next door, when I complained to him. The extra shower places more demand on the system and it kicks into life. Had a similar problem at the hospital where I worked as they had virtually the same system.

Give yourself more than a couple of days in Broken Hill, 4 days if you can.
I have been there twice and I am keen to go back as there are still some things I have not seen. All up so far I have spent 7 days there. As I said, keen to go back.

Cheers, Bruce.
