A nine day/eight night tour of Broken Hill and surrounding districts (including a night in the underground motel in White Cliffs) has been booked for the above dates. This tour is with Fringe of the Desert Tours who took us to Lake Eyre in 2011 and did our tour of Adelaide and surrounds last year. Travel to and from Broken Hill is with Countrylink. Brochures with full details on this tour are available from Wal. The cost is $1475 ppts (single supplement $400) and as well as accommodation, bus tours, entry fees etc, includes 8 breakfasts, 8 dinners and 5 lunches.

An option is being investigated for those interested to extend the coach tour from Broken Hill to Lake Mungo National Park, then on to Mildura, Wentworth and Albury, before returning to Sydney by rail. The return fare from Albury is the same as from Broken Hill. Please advise your interest in this extension to Wal.
