5 Broken Hill to Bulla Park Rest Area Sunday 20/4/2014

Left Lakeveiw Caravan Park at about 8.30
on the outskirts of town the country was quite barren and bare then it changed to open plain.
They say the Nullarbor is the treeless plain well that has nothing on this, it was like this for about 100ks just 300cm high scrub NO TREES AT ALL there was a few undulations in the distance which added a bit of interest.
Fueled up and had lunch at Wilcannia next to the driver reviver caravan from here the countryside changed again to higher 2 to 3 metre high shrubs gradually getting taller.
Has the look of definite station country as we know it Jam trees and Sheoaks, Emu`s, Goats, goats & more goats!!!! With the odd sheep & cattle.
This continued for about another 100ks all around the base of the trees as high as the goats can reach has been eaten and cleared out so we are able to see for approx. 500 metres either side of the road.

Tim says there must be about 20 goats to the acre by the bareness of the trees & ground.
Crossing a bridge over the river it was like a switch had been thrown West side no rain dry and barren East side heaps of rain all was lush and green.
By 3pm decided enough travel for the day it was time to camp so circled up the wagons and had happy hour.
