Always enjoy a retelling of the Burke and Wills expedition. It feel like it could've been a plot from a reality TV show. Also, that sunset, jeeeees!

It's a very good story of how a group of very dedicated people didn't let inconsequential and trivial things like "skill", "competence", "preparation", "ability" or "good decision making" get in the way of giving it a go! You may be after the movie "Wills and Burke: The Untold Story" - although I haven't see it myself so I can't tell you how funny it is.

The giant mulloch heap has nothing to do with the name broken Hill, it comes from the two peaks that when looked at from the right direction looked like a "broken hill" ,no photos or drawings of which exist, and was mined away as it was where the line of lode is

You should have looked up your Great Grandfather's history in Broken Hill. He was Manager of one of the mines at aged 22 (I think.) He brokered the deal between management and the miners. The mine got the silver and zinc but the miner's received a bounty on the lead... which suddenly became very valuable with the outbreak of the Second World War. Your Great Grandmother lived at Silvertown. When they married and moved to Adelaide William Queale supplied large fridge trucks to the American Army which was the beginning of Kelvinator.

Ahh, should have asked inside the family... I knew we had some connection with the area.

I didn't even post-process that shot - no colour grading magic at play there. That's how it actually looked in real life - absolutely magical.

Yeah that was totally and utterly spectacular!

Cam you never ever refer ober and over that "Broken Hill is like South Australia"... No its not. Its nothing like South Australia, i was norm and bres. My grandfather was the town Clark of Broken Hill mt other grandfather was a lofetime underground miner, the Broken Hill airport terminal is named after my grandfather. To say Broken Hill is anything like Soith Australia is an insult, but absolutely no comparison whatsoever except yes, the time zone. 👌

I felt it went a little deeper than just the time zone - there's the phone numbers, the postal charges, the stobie poles, a lot of the architecture, the road signs pointing "to Adelaide" and the fact it had a train line to Adelaide long before it did to Sydney. I'm also not sure what's so particularly offensive about being considered South Australian, but I apologise if that hurts.

What a load of rubbish,as someone that has lived in broken Hill for a long time ,it is exactly like south Australia, it should be part of south Australia
