Saturday the 9th of July 2022 – Peterborough, South Australia

Posted on by bebraveontour

Parked in the Main Street of Peterborough.

Today we left Broken Hill and travelled across the border into South Australia for our overnight stay here in Peterborough. Originally named Petersburg but changed to Peterborough many years ago, funny the road to the town from the highway is called Petersburg Rd. We have only one night here as we leave in the morning to go Woomera.

The intrepid travellers outside the Olary Hotel in Olary. Olary is 115 k’s from Broken Hill in the middle of nowhere, the town population is 5 but 2 are recluses who haven’t been seen since last October. You can’t even get a decent card game going with those numbers!

Although we were 180 K’s inside the NSW/SA border we had to go thru a quarantine station. They were checking for illegal fruit and veggies, despite us googling on line for what was acceptable to bring across, we had to give up our cucumbers and snow peas (no real loss in my opinion). Funny the same foodstuff can cross borders in trucks but put it in a car/van and no! you can’t bring it in. At least the inspectors family will eat fresh tonight!

The Nullarbor is longer but we had 200 K’s of this type of scenery today. Not as much road kill about but there is still plenty of feed in the paddocks so no real need to come to the roadside to eat. Although 2 wild goats didn’t make it across the road, whoever hit them are not curry eaters!

    Hello the Be Brave Team,We have been following your new adventure with interest. It looks great but the heavy woollies and beanies  give a good indication of the prevailing temperature. We are sure you will be looking forward to some real warmth in NW of WA.Just to refresh my memory, what was the slope test and how was it calculated.We fly to Broome on Monday to start a 9 day Kimberley cruise with John and Marg so unfortunately  we will miss you. However, we await your  next instalment with high expectations. Best wishes to you all.CheersNick and AnneSent from Samsung tablet.
