As said in previous tip, we arrived by car and parked in the car-park.
Being a little warm, we headed under the shade to the picnic tables where we had a drink before starting our walk.
As we walked back to the Car, I noticed about 8 Emus, a family with chicks not fully grown. They were grazing infront of the parked cars. We watched them, then did our walk, on which we saw a different Lizard, then came back to the car-park to find a Kangaroo hopping around.
Seems like there might be a bit of wildlife here, more so at dusk and dawn.
Always good to see the animals in the wild!

Directions: Directions: An easy drive from Broken Hill and Silverton. Take Kaolin Street (Nine Mile Road) and exit on the second right hand turnoff.
