I stayed in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trilbystation.com.au\/accommodation.htm#Bunkhouse\">Shearers Bunkhouse<\/a> which was great. Liz was very friendly, and the property is on a fantastic bit of the River. Its a rough old road to get there, but I would love to get back out there and spend more time on the station having a look around. Thanks Liz.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.saltbushmotorinn.com.au\/\">The Salt Bush Motor Inn<\/a> at Hay was easily the most luxurious and best value accommodation of the trip. It is a very new establishment, and it is well looked after by Gary and Ellen. Large comfortable rooms, a spacious bathroom and free internet access makes this the stand out accommodation in Hay. I will be back, thats for sure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brokenhilloasis.bestwestern.com.au\/\">The Oasis Motor Inn<\/a> at Broken Hill was the other really good accommodation I stayed at. Not as flash as Salt Bush in Hay, but clean and the staff are very friendly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attractions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/shearoutback.com.au\/\">Shear Outback<\/a> is like a Shearers hall of fame. I think i was there for well over 2 hours. Billy Garner, the Gun shearer is a great bloke who has lots of funny stories. There is also a great gift shop and a water exhibition that tells some sobering facts about Australia&#8217;s water useage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/it.sydney.com\/town\/Broken_Hill\/Railway_Mineral_and_Train_Museum\/info.aspx\">Broken Hill rail Museum<\/a> in the heart of Broken Hill. The best <strong>$2.50<\/strong> I have spent in a long time. Lots to see and read about. And if you are a train buff, get ready for a few hours of wandering about.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the drive down the Darling from Bourke to Wilcannia, although slow going at times, is a great drive to do if you like the outback. Drop into Toorale station and see the old homestead and shearers sheds where Henry Lawson worked as a rouseabout. Spend the night at Trilby station and soak up some country living.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a list of places I would recommend if you are ever in the area.
