Arrived at Radium Hill.

I The ride from Mildura to Broken Hill wasn't the most exciting stretch of road, but we made it in about 3 hours. Had to slow down a few times for emu's, which was a first for me.

Lunch in BH then it was an hour ride west to Tikalina Station. 

Tikalina is a sheep station, 70000 acres with around 8700 sheep. The had just started shearing the week before we arrived. I was amazed to hear they get through about 1000 sheep a day!

The station has its own airstrip, but the current plane is out of action and a new one on the way. 

We arrived about 5pm so it was a quick shower, then dinner with our very gracious hosts Andy and Helen. An early night, then tomorrow is off to explore the old mining site and town.
