Lighting Ridge NSW July 10, 2023 Just Rustic, Bardo Station, Lightning Ridge If yesterday was more of same, today was out of this world. We had asked at the info place about anything new in town and they had told us of this fairly new tour. It's a museum of 'old things', hence the Rustic name, located out on a farm 30km north off town. A nice easy run of about 30 minutes over excellent dirt and gravel roads takes us out to the station. The driveway leads to a clearing where there is a large shed and a few old cars and trucks, and a helicopter. It's not really a proper helicopter, just one the owner Robert Turnbull made up out of bits 'n pieces laying around the place. Just for fun. Actually he made it up, called his neighbour, who was struggling with the drought, and told him he had a new helicopter. The neighbour hot-footed over straight away and when he saw it, laughed his head off. Mental health treatment 101. Helicopter, Just Rustic, Lightning Ridge NSW Robert
