That is about exactly six hours from now, teams are probably resting somewhere since it is 1am in Sydney. They would arrive in Broken Hill about 5 CST.

Terrific find Rich. Broken Hill is known for its silver/lead/zinc mining and sheep....lots of sheep. So maybe some activities along those lines. I do have a question. How long does it take to ride the train from Broken Hill back to Sydney?........Just wondering about leaving and letting Phil get a day ahead for his standups in next leg. BVM does like his long train rides....

The direct train is only run once a week, the daily trip involves a bus and he may not be able to make the timing work. Phill would have a better chance of catching that charter back.

Of course, this makes the assumption they are flying back, rather than flying on to somewhere. As I said, I have two reports now (reliable) that producers were in Melbourne last week timing the time it took to get from Southern Cross Station to the Southbank area. Could they be doing something in the outback, then having to make way from Broken Hill to Melbourne?
Broken Hill to Sydney or Melbourne or even Adelaide is not that much on flying time.
Cheers,
Rod

I thought they needed to get back to Sydney to leave by the same airport they came in by? Isn't that how they handle customs issues?
