The following day we drove to TIBOOBURRA and explored the small town. One place had an astonishing collection of memorabilia gathered over the years by the husband and wife team. We spoke to the lady who told us they went to Broken Hill a few times a year to yard sales and were always on the lookout for new items. There were at least four rooms and a wrap-around verandah with everything labelled and organised. We we very impressed! Another place had the most extensive collection of tea pots you could imagine.
There was also a replica of the 12 oar whaler boat that Sturt dragged on a dray in his unsuccessful and fatal search for the inland sea.
Pub artwork.
Sturt Desert Pea flowering in an old tyre.
Along the road there was a lot of road kill and attendant scavengers, including wedge tailed eagles.
