The big family history road trip is over. Broken Hill was the highlight, where we were looking back in time to 1888 - 1912. My Great Grandfather was the Mayor of Broken Hill in 1901 and the Architect of the iconic  Trades Hall.

Dad and his grandfather Tom Jackson's drawings for the Trades Hall.

The Trades Hall - This special building is still used as a Union Hall and is tied to all the struggles of the miners to get a fair go from the mining companies. The towns history is full of hard times and human triumph.

The road from Menindee to Ivanhoe. There had been a shower of rain and dad said it will just lay the dust. It took 4 hours to travel 200 km. Horrible trip kept slipping off the road into the table drain and every variation in between. Fortunately, we didn't get bogged. Very happy when we got to Ivanhoe, and the local policeman said the road was now closed.
