Trivia/Background:
In terms of splitting this one up, it turned out a bit interesting. Too much to cover the whole trip back and the post-arrival stuff in one video, but not quite enough for a video of its own.
Well I didn’t intend for the Burke and Wills expedition to be half the video, but it certainly provided some decent content, and it is an interesting story.

Description:
Heading south from Tibooburra, we reach the town of Broken Hill. Although it’s in New South Wales, a lot of things about it are quite South Australian - but why could that be?
We visit the Albert Kersten Mining and Minerals Museum (who was Albert Kersten anyway?), try and fail to go on a mine tour, then tour the Living Desert State Park with its Cultural Hike and sculptures.
After that, we camp at the Burke and Wills campsite in Medindee - spotting an interesting piece of local wildlife.
And then I briefly* recount the Burke and Wills expedition. (* - ok, it’s half the video).
