Broken Hill and its surrounding landscape are full of unusual attractions and offer a diversity of travel experiences. The town and its surrounds, particularly Silverton, are quintessentially Australian and have been the scene of more than 140 films and commercials including Mad Max 2, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Dirty Deeds, the Royal Flying Doctor series as well as Coke and XXXX beer advertisements.
Its strong mining history and classic architecture contrasts with its reputation as a haven for artists with some 27 private galleries and studios, including the world’s largest acrylic painting on canvas. You’ll also find one of New South Wales’ best collections of Aboriginal rock art nearby. And with areas such as White Cliffs and its luxury underground accommodation, it’s little wonder the characters you’ll meet here are every bit as colourful as the surrounding landscapes.
