Quorn

Well with a big 9 hour day done yesterday, we are cruising along to Quorn. Early Broken Hill morning I walked up to the miners memorial to watch the sunrise. So beautiful. What an incredible history is the mining industry here. I was taken aback by the sheer numbers of mining deaths and the memorial is quite a humbling experience.
Before leaving Broken Hill we head to the Pro Hart gallery. What an iconic interesting Australian artist and well worth the visit. As with many artists he was prolific , painting, drawing , sculpting and staining the odd carpet or two! Hehe. Love his dragon fly work and his hilarious Finding God and Home Brew series.
We drove out and walked to Living Desert Sculptures.
It started on April 1, 1993, when artists from around the world began work on 12 sandstone sculptures in the middle of the desert outside Broken Hill. Giant sandstone blocks weighing more than 50 tonnes had been shipped in from the Wilcannia region for the sculpture symposium, organised by artist Lawrence Beck.

Six weeks later, the artists unveiled their creations, and it’s quite a spectacular site. Well worth a visit and I can imagine camping out here and seeing the sculptures at different times of the day would be amazing.
On to Quorn! We arrive in Quorn with just enough time to make it to the Gin Distillery! Yummm. Needless to say we add gin to the moving Tommy wine cellar ( back seat)! No room for strays here.
Quorn is a gorgeous quaint little town which is incredibly progressive with its dedicated dog adventure party, its bush tucker walk, its amazing Silo Projection movie, its history, its Quondong and bush tucker treats and its rather sweet stone architecture. Such a beautiful town. We both loved it.
Molong could learn quite a bit from the Silo Projection. Just divine.
Gorgeous can park too.Les mer
