dave some people say you've got steel balls for
riding the 990 across the french line with all that weight that's where all the weights from sure
these are probably worth a bit sean the old shearers handshares yeah surely
here we are checking out all the old mining
and farm equipment from back in the day so much history out here
so jock this is just like the one you built when you were a boy
how cool is this it's the old lockup the old police station
here's the old cells yeah i'm giving a bit of history about the schools in the area
but how cool is that the old cell building still here you can see the bars up there
the door is just a wooden door with some steel bolted through it
it's still sitting there how cool is that a little museum here about
flying doctors
still using them today what a great service
well this is cool this is actually this chain we're looking at here that's a hundred link
chain it's a surveyor's chain it says they're made up of a hundred links marked with marked
rods ten so these chains measure that's how they measure distance and how they surveyed the lands
and and surveyed the borders for you know the states and things like that so one chain 22 yards
100 links 66 feet i've always wanted to see one of these i wonder what they look like and here it is
this building here has got the history of charles sturt and his expeditions
through the australian outback in search of the inland sea i didn't really
know the history that well but it turns out that he was very optimistic actually took a boat with
him that he hoped to launch into the sea when he found it of course we know that never happened
see you later youtube all right we're leaving that gorgeous little piece of history
back on the road we go broken hill here we come that car's going
