Pop in to the Murray Bridge branch & tell them your brother (or someone?) died & you can't get back for XXX time.
I got told that they don't expect you to sit at your home address ALL the time.
Your brother (or someone ) will be less than pleased when their dole is cut off because they 'died'.

Seriously Terry, go into the MB C/Link mob explain you are in the process of moving you are not physically or financially able to attend back in NSW but they could do a video call/link if they wish. I would also ask to speak to one of their ?social worker/welfare people. Remember to get a receipt # with all phone calls. C/Link is C/Link no matter what state.

We would like to say a very big forum thank you to Dot and G for letting us park up in their yard at various times over the last month, you could not ask for better friends or hosts. It was great to meet you Terry and we hope that there is some light at the end of the tunnel soon. Sorry we missed you Bruce and Wendy, maybe next time. We're now slowly heading towards the Bathurst Rally via the Barrier Hwy and Broken Hill and would love to have some suggestions for things to look out for on the way to Broken Hill.

I think someone said something about a suitcase on the rail platform up that way? Other than that I used to just count the KM to go & think of the $$$ I was earning.
Oh... think seriously about camping in Wilcannia ...........

Burra has several interesting sights. Open cut copper mine, old gaol, old brewery underground, hovels dug into the dry river bed _ much more and great history. Go to the information Center where you will get a key and a map to do a self guided tour.
Up the road at Mt Bryan East is Sir Hubert Wilkins Homestead, a memorial to Australia's greatest explorer. The book 'The Last Explorer ' is an astounding chronicle of the life of an Australian who was disregarded by Australian Society because of his lowly beginnings but revered in other countries hence 'Sir' from the British and his ashes were scattered at the North Pole after his death in 1958 from a US nuclear submarine that surfaced through the ice. His wife's ashes were scattered there 10 years later. Does that indicate that he might have been well respected? But few Australians know of him.
