Our group now split apart – those that had to go back to work and those that did not !! Super early – about 4am, the bus left Broken Hill. A very comfy bus too with a charismatic driver. At this time there was a glut of kangaroos and a real problem for driving at dusk and dawn. The driver said that he saw over 800, eight hundred, driving to Broken Hill. So the passengers where warned that there will be lots of heavy braking.
Our bus, with roo bars 
Route Broken Hill to Dunnbo 
Sunrise from a bus
We stopped regularly for loo and food, and saw a spot of outback life – maybe I should call this bus ride ‘the budget outback tour’ ???
Road side coffee/breakfast shop 
Sheep dog in an empty truck 
Small road train
As the sun got up and the day moved on the wide and flat landscape become apparent.
Even busses have to pull over for big loads 
The bus arrived in Dubbo in time for the train to Sydney
