I'm in Broken Hill

Me again! (Then again, who else would it be, ha ha!)

Just a quick note to let you know I made it safely to Broken Hill yesterday about 5pm... two days on the train, even with an overnight in Adelaide in a real bed, was pretty rough. I met some interesting characters on the train though, including a guy who makes Aussie tessellations for a living. Strange but true. When I have more than three minutes I'll take a look at his website and pass it on to you (of course this also means I need to find his website address again, ha ha!).

The sun was going down when I got here last night so I didn't do a lot of exploring. But the hostel is nice and clean and has an aquarium in the foyer, so it got into my good books right away. I'm in a twin share room and so far (fingers crossed) I'm not sharing it with anyone. And I've got my own TV! So considering this will be the last hostel I stay in while I'm here in OZ, I think I've lucked out.

So far all I've managed to do today is visit the tourist info centre and pick up some groceries, and now I'm sitting here in the library doing a quick catch up. There's free internet access here so once I've done some exploring, I'll come back and tell you all about it. Cheers!
