Trip to Broken Hill
10 Feb 2014
Twenty-one members and friends of the Ladies Probus Club of Barossa Valley enjoyed a trip to Broken Hill, travelling on the Indian Pacific train.
After leaving from the rear of the Vine Inn early in the morning, the group travelled via Greenock Creek Charter bus to the Adelaide Parklands Terminal where they checked in and awaited the arrival of the Indian-Pacific.
After being checked onto the train, the group settled into the very roomy seating and the train was soon on its way northward.
For those who did not bring their own, food and drinks were available in the cafe carriage next door. The train route passed out of the city and suburbs and on into farming lands, stopping briefly here and there to pick up or drop off a passenger or two.
On arrival in Broken Hill, the group was met by a small bus which took them to the Silver Haven Motor Inn, which was to be their accommodation for the next two nights.
After settling in and a brief look around, most headed for the restaurant for dinner and then went back to their rooms for an early night.
The following day it was an early start for a full day of touring Broken Hill and surrounds.
After a tour around the city the group visited the Line of Lode Miners’ Memorial which is located on the highest point of Broken Hill, overlooking the city. After morning tea in the nearby cafeteria, the intrepid travellers hopped back on the tour bus for a further look around the city sights before being dropped off in the city centre to buy lunch and have a brief look around the shops.
After lunch, the group boarded the bus and headed out to the old town of Silverton, some 28km from Broken Hill. The bus parked there and the group spent the afternoon looking around the various buildings and businesses in the historic town, and enjoying a drink in the hotel or a quondong ice cream at the cafe. From there it was on to the Mundi Mundi Plains lookout and the Umberumberka Reservoir before heading back to Broken Hill and a delicious dinner at the motel.
The next morning the group boarded the bus which took them to the railway station, where they joined the Indian Pacific once again and headed back to Adelaide where a Greenock Creek bus was waiting to take the party back to Nuriootpa.
