Here I am, officially a city chick again. The drive back to Broken Hill from Sydney - all 1200 kms of it - was relatively painless due to the fact I wasn't the one driving. I'd lured my friend Gary to Broken Hill with promises of a "real outback experience" - though of course his real job was to cram the Starlet with 6 months accumulated gear and share the driving. However after a desktop computer, breadmaker, video, stereo, blender, 10 paintings, assorted bags of junk, a doona and a guitar went in, we found that I was the only one who could fit into the passenger side and Gary was sure that if we moved the drivers seat forward for me to drive it was certainly not moving back again. In any case, by driving over two and half days we managed to make it in time to see the zoo at Dubbo, which was fun. Had a few close calls with roos though - roo vz Starlet not a pretty imagined sight.
