Flight is 45 minutes late.
The delay could be worse. The plane to Broken Hill has been declared unservicable and grounded due to a faulty smoke detector. Those people have to wait for a replacement plane to be flown from Sydney. Whenever that is.

Wishing you luck with your wait.
I spent a few days in Broken Hill. Interesting town.
The equipment was commissioned, handed over, and immediatley moth-balled because the bottom dropped out of the zinc ore market. The mine is why the town is called "Broken Hill." Before the mine, it was just a hill.

So, zinc as well as silver? Cool.
Yes, more a ghost town now, but nice for a tourist for a couple of days.
rental car? it's only 8 hours-ish!
On the other hand, you have to drive through Wilcania. (Dun Dun DUUUNNNNN!)
