Explored Silverton about 25km north west of BH on Sunday (3rd Feb) notable as the backdrop to Mad Max 2. I’m guessing they did not need any traffic control when shooting the road scenes. Plenty of picture galleries featuring what you might least expect – pictures of nothing, although there were some comedic interpretations. I got lots of illegal photos (no photos allowed in the galleries) but lost the lot (love computers/technology) and didn’t have enough guts to go back and shoot again.
Anyway plenty of outdoor shots of every painted scene – 
Saw camels, emus and Mad Max memorabilia but very little reason for people to live there. Fascinating old gaol loaded with historic memorabilia and still good isolation cells but they wouldn’t let me move in. It never ceases to amaze me as to why peple choose to live and work where they do, let alone why anyone went there in the first place. Aaah … the power of the dollar.

would have been the shilling or thruppence or whatever you old people used as money back then…or was it smooth stones or bark?
