  1. New at my Patreon... On an excursion from the Indian Pacific train in Broken Hill, we were presented with a lone meringue and a cornucopia of native fruits and sauces made from native ingredients, and were invited to go crazy with them in creating our own individual pavlova. Here's the result:

  6. Don't tell anyone!

    "Environment watchdog buried report on lead in children’s blood to placate mining companies, emails show. Instead of taking action to protect babies and young children from toxic lead exposure, government officials have tied themselves in knots to protect a dangerous industry."

    "The New South Wales environment watchdog sat on a report for four years linking elevated levels of lead in children’s blood to current mining, and promised mining companies they would not do any “finger-pointing”, new documents tabled in state parliament show.

    "Lead exposure
    can have serious consequences for the health of children. Exposure to very high levels of lead can severely damage the brain and central nervous system causing coma, convulsions and even death. Children who survive severe lead poisoning may be left with permanent intellectual disability and behavioural disorders."

  7. @tregeagle Traveled through that part of the country in May and was astonished at how many feral #goats there are. At that time of the year it was stripped of anything green on the ground and up to about 1.5m in the trees and bushes. A modified and sad landscape.

  8. Interesting idea. Would have to improve the passenger rail service first - it currently gets one train a week, which returns to Sydney the next day. Not very useful for tourism.

  17. One of my very first #PlainText journal entries:

    2017-03-28, 11.00

    On the train from #BrokenHill to #Sydney, an older gentleman approached my seat on the way back to his, and leaned in to have a word.

    “I saw you typing back there," he said, “so fast! Are you typing a...?”

    “Journal,” I said. “I’m making a journal record of my trip to see my Mum.” (1/3) 🧵

  18. Broken Hill in far west NSW set a new daily rain record on Sunday: 85mm recorded at the airport.

    The previous single-day January record of 75.2mm was set in 1961.

    #BrokenHill averages 27.7mm of rain in January, its wettest month, and the annual average is about 225mm. Local flash flooding, power and telecoms outage, but rain welcomed by pastoralists

  21. Outback Xplorer at Broken Hill, ready to take me back to Sydney. The journey takes just over 14 hours to Sydney Terminal, but I'm alighting at Penrith in Sydney's western suburbs, so my journey will take 13 hours, 45 minutes.

    Although Broken Hill is in NSW, it observes Central Standard Time, whereas the rest of NSW observes Eastern Standard Time. Broken Hill is closer to Melbourne and Adelaide than it is to Sydney.

  22. Arrived at Broken Hill only a few minutes late, despite something going "bang" under my carriage and the engine stopping. Hope they get it sorted for tomorrow's return run.

  23. I'm currently visiting the Outback town of Broken Hill. I'm doing some family history research and have thus visited the Cemetery (40 hectares (100 acres), ~45,000 internments). It appears that crushed glass (beer bottles?) is a popular ornamentation - I don't recall seeing that elsewhere.
