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.

Should you ever visit Broken Hill, head Bells, its a trip down memory lane.

All my life I’ve visited Bells. Way back when, I can remember the Sunday evening drives over the line, bathed & wearing the pyjamas & going to Bells.
The milkshakes & spiders & the freshly made soda drinks were all bloody delicious.
And nothing has changed. They still, 50 something years on, make the best Lime spiders on earth.

Last week I did a scary, courageous, exciting, and (I think, or hope) successful thing...

So today I'm creating a new hashtag for my book in development #BrokenHeartedHill. It's very early days, so perhaps a bit optimistic - but what the heck... I'm #PuttingItOutThere...

"Broken Hearted Hill: Love Songs and Lamentations From a Mining Town Girlhood"

I never did watch the movie nor did I know of the series. ' Wake in Fright' was enough for me. Or maybe it wasn't, after all it was filmed here and I subsequently moved despite the warning signs. #WolfCreek #BrokenHill
