Day trip to Old Mundi Mundi Homestead Ruins

After a pleasant ANZAC Day (yes it is filmed but I need help uploading and editing still) Sue and I were invited to a housewarming of one of Susan's friends - Jason and Dom in Argent Street Broken Hill. A fine Indian Curry was served to guests with a backdrop of the Line of Lode. More rain during the evening.
Today Deirdre and David Edwards invited us for a day trip to the Old Mundi Mundi Homestead Ruins about ten minutes past Umberumberka on a private property. The day started at 9.30am with a visit to the owner's  ElDee Station where we allowed to take photos around the homestead and fabulous junk pile. We then headed to the ruins driving cross country to the site. We parked along the edge of a picturesque dry creek bed and more photos and videos were taken. I am loving the patina of rust and the surfaces of this place as you can imagine. 
The wind was bitterly cold and I was glad of the layered clothing. David decided that he should light a fire in the creek bed so that we could lunch and draw in comfort. It was so nice. They are salt of the earth people and we were both appreciative of their generosity.
I am getting much more confident with the video now and can't wait to upload and work on getting some sort sequence to a short story on film. It is really getting exciting now.
Back here at BHAE now and catching up on uploads, emails and diary before heading out to the Legions Club for dinner.
Tomorrow we are planning our next trip........................to be continued.
