That morning, we did the same routine as the previous morning. It took us about 2 hours to get to Wilcannia, that was when mum got out of the car aned took photos of silos. Then it took us around about 3 hours to get to Broken Hill.We were in lots of trouble because there was too much diesel coming out of the engine, so we went in search of a toyota place so they could fix it. We eventually found one but heard some bad news, most of their workers had quit and gone mining, so we left there and went in search of car mechanics. We found one, but the same problem had occured there to, workers had quit and gone mining, so we left and went searching for the last time. We found another mechanic and heard good news, he was able to fix the car. The only problem was, he had to do it on Monday and it was Wednesday, so we decided to go to Silverton and stay there the night. Three quarters of an hour later we were in the Penrose Caravan Park in Silverton and unpacking the van. After we finished unpacking, we went into town to explore. We eventually returned from our exploration half an hour later. The exploration wasn't proper but it was fun. We decided to go to the Mundi Mundi Scenic Lookout at sunset, so we mucked around and got ready. When the time finally came, dad and I weren't ready, so mum hastled us. We eventually went and got there in about 5 mins. Alot of people were there already and among those people we meet our first really good friends, their names were Dona, Brad, Elsie and Max(a mum, dad, daughter and son)they came from Geelong and were heading to Camerans Corner. We stayed there for about an hour then left to go to the pub. We talked and talked and talked till about 8:30. After that we went back to Penrose Park and had dinner which was cooked tomato, eggs and sausages. After dinner we stayed up a little longer, then went to bed.
