BROKEN HILL
AND THE
OUTBACK
OFFERS A
WEALTH OF
EXPERIENCES
Browne’s Shaft
Silverton
From majestic landscapes
and evocative art to mining
heritage, indigenous culture
and bush lifestyle.
Broken Hill’s history is etched into
the earth, central to an outback
region of heritage-listed lakes,
fossils of mega fauna and evidence
of the longest continual record of
Aboriginal life in Australia.
Broken Hill is alive with possibility,
a place where pioneering
presence, unique culture and
spectacular space come together
to excite every visitor.
Remarkable contrasts are
everywhere. From the mountainous
overburden that forms a backdrop
to every wide street in the Silver
City, to the wildflowers that, since
recent flooding rains, colour the
surrounding desert as far as
you can see.

EXPLORE &
DISCOVER
Broken Hill looks like a classic
outback town, with big country
pubs on wide street corners, all
under deep blue skies. Its look
reflects all the characteristics that
make the city so special – from
its heritage and art to the warm
welcome locals offer every visitor.
Trades Hall
Palace Hotel
BROKEN HILL – THE SILVER CITY
Broken Hill has inspired generations of pioneers,
artists, film makers, publicans and restaurateurs,
alongside some of Australia’s most influential
social advocates and mining entrepreneurs.
Heroic Stories
Become part of an extraordinary history that
helped define a nation. You’ll discover the Silver
City is full of heroic stories – some so wild that
no one could have made them up. Experience
these stories straight from their source, in friendly
conversation with locals over a cold drink or two.
Galleries
Meeting Broken Hill’s many artists is a unique
experience and all it takes is opening the door
to any of the city’s 30-plus galleries. They range
from the civic splendour of the Broken Hill
Regional Art Gallery to more intimate offerings
that are part of artists’ homes and studios.
Each gallery and the artists associated with
them provide insight into the city’s character
and encourages you to dig deeper.
10 MUST SEES IN BROKEN HILL
Museums
Living Desert Sculptures
Explore the Albert Kersten Mining & Minerals
Museum, housed in the beautifully restored former
Bond Store, made from locally quarried stone
in 1892. The facility presents information on the
formation of the world’s largest deposit of silver
lead and zinc, as well as displaying a world class
collection of Broken Hill minerals. The museum
is also home to the iconic ‘Silver Tree’ once
owned by Charles Rasp, the boundary rider
who pegged out the first Broken Hill mining
lease with his partners.
Among many creative initiatives in Broken Hill,
one stands out against the landscape with
special drama, particularly at sunset. The
Living Desert Sculptures are a celebration
of the region’s powerful connection between
art and environment. Located 9km from the
city, it features 12 massive sandstone sculptures
by artists from around the world, including
Mexico, Georgia and Bathurst Island as well
as local artist, Badger Bates.
Another must see museum in the centre of town
is the Sulphide Street Mineral and Train Museum,
located diagonally opposite the Visitor Information
Centre. This is actually four or more museums
for the price of one: the Broken Hill Migrant
Heritage Museum, Hospital Museum, the Ron
Carter Transport Pavilion and the Triple Chance
Mineral Collection. It also houses a range of
railway attractions, including the Silver City
Comet, and all sorts of gems from the
Silverton Tramway Company.
Royal Flying Doctor Service
Every bit as vital (and famous) as the School of
the Air, the Royal Flying Doctor Service looks
after 80 percent of Australia – an area the size
of western Europe. Experience the remarkable
scope of the service for yourself on a guided
tour of its base. These tours run continuously
so you won’t miss out. You can also watch
RFDS activities showcased in film and in
historic detail in the Mantle of Safety Museum.

Broken Hill architecture
Photo: Simon Bayliss/Outback NSW Tourism 2008
Today, Broken Hill is a treat of diverse architectural
styles. Stroll city streets and experience many
a bygone era, from the grand atmosphere of
palatial Federation and Victorian buildings
founded on mining wealth to more workmanlike
red brick and prefabricated structures and classic
miner’s tin cottages.
Look closely at the facades of the city’s buildings
and you’ll see more than bricks and mortar. You’ll
see the vagaries of fortune; those made and lost
by individuals and nationwide booms and busts.
From the mining booms of 1906 and the 1950s,
the population has expanded and contracted.
There is also a surprisingly large number of
examples of art deco architecture from the 1930s
and others of Georgian influence. More than 350
properties are listed as locally significant and
many feature on similar state and national lists.
Silver City Mint & Art Centre
Tours
Shopping and dining
Even a casual stroll down the main street, Argent
Street, is special, where beautifully preserved
architecture marks every step. Take one of the
city’s fascinating walking tours, like the Broken
Hill Heritage Trail, the Broken Hill Cemetery Walk,
Broken Hill Guided Walk Tour or the City Sights tour.
Unwinding is an art in Broken Hill, so join the locals
in popular boutiques, distinctive gift stores and
cafes. The Argent Street precinct caters to the
whims and fancies of visitors and locals alike,
as it has done for more than 100 years.
If you are keen to tour from the comfort of your
car, there’s a choice of driving tours too, like the
range of outback tours available through various
Tour Operators.
Broken Hill’s comprehensive suite of walking
and driving tours are detailed in individual
brochures available from the Broken Hill
Visitor Information Centre.
School of the Air
Today, radio communication has mostly given way
to email, intranet and social media over satellitelinked internet, but the education connection
between students and their teacher remains the
same. The School of the Air classroom covers
over a million square kilometres, with a student
population of about 80 from outback stations.
To listen in on a class, book through the
Broken Hill Visitor Information Centre.

For a taste of something especially sweet head
around ‘the hill’ to South Broken Hill’s pride and
joy; Bells Milk Bar in the Patton Street village.

once the city’s most active commercial centre,
alive with blacksmiths, boot-makers, fruiterers
and even an undertaker.
• Street murals
Browse the city’s eclectic markets. The Patton
Street Market is held every Sunday and the
Community Market happens every second
Saturday of the month.
ACTIVE BROKEN HILL
Don’t overlook what’s between the city’s north

Broken Hill is Australia’s longest-lived mining city.
The city’s fortunes have come and gone against an
extreme economic background of boom and bust
which continues today. Most Australians know BHP
Billiton, the world’s largest mining company, but
fewer people know that BHP actually stands for
Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited. Broken
Hill is where it began for BHP in 1885, when it
began mining the massive ore body containing
the world’s richest source of silver, lead and zinc.
The ‘Syndicate of Seven’ – the men from Mt
Gipps Station – put the city on the map when they
discovered ore on an isolated ‘broken hill’ in 1883.
That same ore body became the largest single
source of silver, lead and zinc ore ever discovered
on earth, generating over $100 billion in wealth.
Day Dream Mine tour
As close as you can come today to the tough
working conditions underground is by touring
the Day Dream Mine, located 33km from
Broken Hill near Silverton. Visitors go down
in complete safety and relative comfort,
but the tour offers enough of the real thing
for you to be aghast at the harshness of the
life miners once led.
Miners’ Memorial
The legacy is writ large on the Miners’ Memorial.
Its striking contemporary architecture and view
over the city add emotional weight to the list of
more than 800 miners who lost their lives on the
job. The dump truck (two small trucks) nearby
adds further weight as a memorial to the only
two miners still entombed. Take a moment to
read the poem inscribed on it.
The dump trucks and the Miners’ Memorial are
sober reminders of why Broken Hill pioneered
a culture of trade unionism, including the
introduction of the 35 hour working week
and the defeat of conscription in Australia.
Living Mining Museum
For a sense of going underground without
actually going under, visit White’s Mineral Art
and Living Mining Museum on Allendale Street.
A visit to the museum will take one on an
illustrated journey through the architectural and
mining history of the city. Bushy White’s mineral
paintings are complimented with many rare
mining artefacts, underground memorabilia
and models of mine sites.

Syndicate of seven
Trade Unionism
George McCulloch, Charles Rasp, James Poole,
David James, Philip Charley, George Urquhart and
George Lind. These seven men came from diverse
backgrounds, intellect and foresight to form the
first mining company in Broken Hill.
In the late 1800s, safety in the mines was
considered the sole responsibility of the
workers themselves. As a result, they existed in
intolerable conditions; breathing silicon-laden dust
underground or the lead fumes of the smelters.
Many died of miners’ phthisis or of lead poisoning.
Massive attempts were made to improve working
conditions, including a large strike in 1892 which
was brutally put down by the mine bosses. While
many miners lost faith in unionism as a result,
an absolute distrust of mine owners became
entrenched for generations.
When trade unions regained influence during
the next century, this bitterness flared into open,
unrestrained hostility, making Broken Hill
notorious for the frequency and intensity of its
strikes. A legacy of this militancy is presented
in the Trades Hall and in murals on walls of
prominent buildings in central Broken Hill.
Albert Kersten Mining & Minerals Museum
DID YOU KNOW?
Galena and Sphalerite are the natural
mineral deposits which Broken Hill was
founded around. Galena contains lead
and silver, Sphalerite contains zinc.
Broken Hill has more trucks and sets of traffic
lights underground than it does on the surface.
The mare called Auraria which belonged
to David James, one of the original members
of the Syndicate of Seven, won the
Melbourne Cup in 1895.
Rasp and his fellow station hands, David James
and James Poole, pegged out the original lease
in September 1883. Rasp is the most famous of
the seven today, but it was the equally welleducated (and considerably tougher) George
McCulloch who masterminded the syndicate and
helped form the Broken Hill Proprietary Company
in 1885. An active patron of the arts, McCulloch
helped establish what is now the Broken Hill
Regional Art Gallery (on the condition that entry
was free for everyone, as it still is today). He also
funded Broken Hill’s first hospital.
Others didn’t do so well. George Urquhart
and George Lind, sold their shares at a loss.
James Poole sold half his share to the cattle
king, Sidney Kidman, for a herd of bullocks
worth only 40 pounds. As perspective on their
mistakes; BHP mined ore worth more than
42,000 pounds in its first year alone.
You can see busts of the original ‘Syndicate of
Seven’ outside the Broken Hill Council Chambers.
Another who benefited was Philip Charley,
the young jackaroo who first recognised silver
chlorides near Rasp Shaft (pegged by McCulloch).
His ongoing involvement enabled him to import
a 1907 Silver Ghost – the first Rolls Royce
in Australia.

OUTBACK
ART
The creative expression of the
Australian outback has no equal
than that showcased in Broken Hill.
The city’s perfect light is captured in
diverse styles, from the landscape
art of the Brushmen of the Bush to
cutting-edge contemporary works.
Deirdre Edwards
Broken Hill and the outback art scene
Broken Hill and the surrounding region has
always attracted artists like a magnet. From big city
‘celebrity’ artists of previous centuries, like Russell
Drysdale and Clifton Pugh, and home-grown artists
captivated by the light and landscape, to today’s
local artists who work with diverse media; from
painting and sculpture to basket weaving and
photography. For a list of some of these artists, see
the Broken Hill Art Trail map on the following page.
Ancient art
Of course, art has a much longer heritage here.
Aboriginal artists made their mark throughout the
region thousands of years ago. At Mutawintji (130km
northeast of Broken Hill) their legacy is apparent
in remarkable engravings of human figures, hands
and other motifs – some of the best examples of
Aboriginal cave and rock art in New South Wales.
Colourful characters
Nonetheless, the art and attitude of the late Kevin
‘Pro’ Hart typifies the irreverent style of Broken Hill.
You can see Pro’s direct and humorous approach
expressed in so much local art. Take time to chat
with the artists about their authentic, down-to-earth
lives and you’ll understand where it comes from.
16
BROKEN HILL
Engaging work is displayed with pride on the
spacious walls of the Broken Hill Regional Art
Gallery – the oldest regional gallery in New South
Wales. Founded in 1904, it is now located in the
historic Sully’s Emporium Building on Argent
Street. Inside is a fine collection of Australian
and European art dating back to 1867, along
with a changing program of exhibitions by
contemporary Australian and local artists.
This superb gallery received its initial donation of
artwork from original ‘Syndicate of Seven’ member,
George McCulloch. Mining companies, the city
council and individuals have followed McCulloch’s
example ever since. Thanks to their generous
support, the gallery is able to acquire and exhibit
the work of local artists, develop its broad,
international-calibre collection and update its
facilities. This kind of patronage enables the
Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery to maintain
its status as a world class regional gallery.
While it is a must-see for every visitor, this great
institution is only one of more than 30 galleries
in Broken Hill. In fact, art is so intrinsic here that
DID YOU KNOW?
galleries actually outnumber pubs. Art is even on
the street. From eye-catching sculptures in public
parks to colourful murals on the walls of buildings
which commemorate the city’s trade union
heritage and other historic milestones.
Brushmen of the Bush
Broken Hill’s current thriving arts scene traces
its roots back to the Brushmen of the Bush. This
group of five Australian artists – Jack Absalom,
Pro Hart, Hugh Schulz, John Pickup and Eric
Minchin – loved the Australian outback and
exhibited their artwork together for over 25 years.
They formed in 1973, exhibited around the world
and (true to the community spirit of Broken Hill)
raised over a million dollars for charities like the
Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Broken Hill icon, Kevin ‘Pro’ Hart
(1928 – 2006), was a man of many talents.
As well as his famous ability as a painter,
he designed and constructed a telescope
and machine gun. Born in Menindee,
in 1968 Pro was an underground truck
and locomotive driver in Broken Hill
before he took up painting full time,
and revolutionised the art world with
his iconic and laconic creative style.
Small town surprises
The arts scene is every bit as exciting outside
Broken Hill too. Even the smallest towns can
surprise with the scale of their art. Perhaps the
biggest surprise is Silverton; an outback spot that
has received more cinema screen-time than almost
anywhere else in Australia. For a sense of what
makes Silverton so special, browse the unique art
in its various galleries, like the Horizon Gallery.

PICNIC SPOTS
Broken Hill’s lifestyle offers everything you could
wish for in a big cosmopolitan city. There are great
places to wine and dine, to shop for fashion and
unique souvenirs.
The trams are gone and Argent Street works
even better as a showcase for the comprehensive
range of boutiques, cafes, restaurants and
speciality shops that line its length.
Argent Street
Strolling along Argent Street is a pastime
in itself, enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.
Browse in the stores and admire the diverse
range of architectural styles that chronicle
the illustrious heritage of the Silver City.
By day, enjoy fine fare in cafes with al fresco
tables on the street – especially along bustling
Argent Street. By night, settle into the social
scene of the city; meet friendly locals at the bar
of a traditional hotel, sing karaoke or join a jam
session with local musicians.
Patton Street village
Visit a lesser known but equally charming precinct
on the ‘south side’ of the city. Not far from Broken
Hill’s new film studio is the Patton Street village –
South Broken Hill’s equivalent of Argent Street
shopping and entertainment precinct.
• Apex Park *
Patton Street boasts a delightful little row of shops
and services opposite a quiet park and family
playground that early last century resonated with
the stirring sounds of Broken Hill’s Highland and
brass bands.
• Living Desert Picnic Area *
Many of the shops today are straight out of the
1950s, like Bells Milk Bar which has been making
malted milks and soda spiders the traditional way
since the turn of the century. Step in for a taste.
You’ll also learn about Broken Hill and Australia’s
milk bar and cafe culture in its museum.
This broad thoroughfare is as impressive today
as it was when there was little else to Broken Hill
other than Argent Street. The spacious width was
originally to help bullock trains turn with ease. As
Broken Hill developed, Argent Street was one of
the routes used for years by the city’s steam trams.

City with a starring role
Stepping out in Broken Hill certainly doesn’t mean
roughing it. That is, unless you want to. Trek to
remote spots in absolute safety and be back in
the comfort of your city hotel before dinner.
There’s also plenty of comfort to be enjoyed

whether you want to stay on a working sheep

Broken Hill’s latest creative venture is the ingenious
reinvention of a huge old power station as a stateof-the-art movie studio. This multi-million dollar
enterprise in South Broken Hill seems to continue
the city’s historic trend for speculation, but with the
constant flood of Australian and international feature
film crews coming here, it’s more like a sure thing.
Imagine settling into the comfort of a traditional
outback homestead and waking to watch the
sun rise over breakfast on the veranda. What
a great start to another day of discovery.
The studio is also the latest example of how
Broken Hill and the region reinvents itself,
capitalising on new opportunities to keep things
humming. The overall region is famous as a
location for an array of feature films.
Broken Hill knows what intrepid outback travellers
need too. So whether you plan to ‘go bush’ for a
day or a week it’s a cinch to stock up on essentials
for the road, plus every kind of little luxury.
In fact, the city’s central location makes it the
ideal base from which to explore the entire
outback region. Trek to exciting spots and return
everyday to the cosiness of your hotel room.
Choice of superb accommodation is another one
of Broken Hill’s pluses. From heritage hotels and
bed and breakfasts restored into sumptuous style
to modern motels and other comfortable havens
to match a family budget. For something truly
down to earth, stay in a self-contained cottage
like a miner’s ‘tinnie’. There are also great
facilities in local caravan parks.
In fact, choosing where to stay in the outback
is really about exercising your imagination.
Bed down in real shearers’ quarters. Or sleep
in a swag beside the camel you were riding
that same day.
There’s something especially wonderful about
the relentless outback landscape when you’re
snug under the stars or tucked up somewhere
cool like an underground motel.

BROKEN HILL
Broken Hill was achieving notoriety for two
reasons – strikes and dust storms. In a typical
dust storm the town would be enveloped in
dense clouds of choking red sand which
penetrated almost every building. Machines
became clogged, canvas blinds shredded and
outhouses knocked flat. In one severe storm it
was reported that ‘some lanes were blocked by
outhouses which had blown across the roadway’.

The Barrier Ranges were the home of the Bulali
‘uplands people’. The Bulali were a subgroup of
the Wiljakali people who occupied the region from
Broken Hill to the country beyond today’s border
with South Australia. These hardy people hunted
and foraged in the Barrier Ranges, and were feared
by the more peaceful Baarkindji (or Paakantyi,
meaning ‘belonging to the river’) of the Darling
River. Despite the harshness of the landscape
for most of the time, the Bulali were able to
obtain sufficient water from Stephens Creek,
and the rock pools in the ranges, and there
was plenty of game and wild plants for food.

25
1924:
1938:
A petition signed by 2,000 citizens
urged the City Council to transfer the
tram terminus in the centre of town to a
more southern location; the steam trams
created so much noise that court sittings
had to be momentarily suspended as
trams passed by.
After the long depression, Broken Hill embraced
social events with gusto. Balls were held several
times a week, including the Squatters’ Ball. This
usually went all night and it wasn’t uncommon for
night-shift workers cycling home in the early hours
to see the ‘silvertails’ (local graziers in evening
wear) still sipping champagne on a hotel balcony.
1924:
Complaints about the rowdiness
occurring at the South picture
theatre – onions were being
thrown about and the pianist (who
played appropriate music for the
silent films) was the target for
peashooters and paper darts.
1938:
Pie carts were once a familiar feature of outdoor living in Broken
Hill. They plied their trade in Bromide, Sulphide, Oxide and
Blende Streets, and nourished many a mine worker with a meal
on their way home. A favourite was the ‘sixpenny floater’ – a
meat pie in a bowl of thick green-pea soup, followed by a yeast
bun and a bottle of ‘stony’ (ginger beer in a stoneware bottle).
Union badges (Trades Hall)
1926:
Broken Hill’s steam trams weren’t popular. They
clanked and lurched their way down Argent Street
and out into the suburbs, with ‘dense clouds of
smoke blackening buildings’. But riding on them
could be an adventure. It wasn’t uncommon for
passengers heading to the old south race track to
be spilled onto the roadway as the packed tram
lurched around a sharp turn at Jamieson Street.

Broken Hill’s
population is 31,267
Broken Hill’s

1932:
1915:
Broken Hill was the scene of the only
enemy attack on Australian soil in WW1.
Only four months before the Anzac's
fought the Turks at Gallipoli, a Silvertonbound train was fired on by two men in
an ice cream cart flying the Turkish flag.
Today there is a replica cart at White
Rocks at the northern end of Broken Hill.
1909:
Picketing was introduced by unions during
a violent strike. BHP leases were patrolled
by the company and, as intimidation, mock
graves set up bearing derogatory ‘epitaphs’
of union members. The strike lasted several
months but miners returned to work for the
same pay rates and hours – 48 hours a week.
The worldwide depression was at its
lowest point and unemployment in
Australia reached almost 30 percent.
In Broken Hill, many single men were
evicted from boarding houses and, in
desperation, built a shanty town on the
site of the original municipal power station.
Locals called it the ‘chateau de tar drums’
because dwellings were made from drums
half filled with stones and roofed over with
flattened kerosene tins. The place became
a haven for swagmen. They arrived on
the Silverton Tramway steam train and
as it slowed at the Pell Street crossing,
would jump down and scurry towards
the chateau to avoid police patrols.
1937:
BHP runs out of ore to mine and
leaves Broken Hill. Other mining
companies occupy the prime
locations beneath the north
and south of ‘the hill’.
After more than 125 years mining a 300 million tonne
mineral system, the 8km long, 1.6km deep Line of
Lode still supports mining, making Broken Hill one of
the longest continual mining towns in the world.
1936:
Dust storms plagued people’s lives
in Broken Hill, made worse by the
sharp, gritty sand from the ‘skimp’
(mill residue) dumps. But local doctors
apparently welcomed the storms,
claiming that they ‘dispersed germs’
and helped stop diseases spreading.

DID YOU KNOW?
Mungo was added to the world heritage list
in 1981; it has the oldest recorded cremation
in the world.
Mungo National Park
Mungo National Park is at the heart of the
Willandra Lakes World Heritage area. The site
is famous for being continuously occupied by
humans for more than 40,000 years. Evidence
is scattered throughout this moonscape; ancient
fireplaces, stone tools and other artefacts. These
immediately recognisable items of everyday
life are contrasted with less familiar fossils of
preserved mega-fauna and prehistoric plant life.
The dramatically sculpted clay and sand
formations called the Walls of China that stretch for
approx 30kms are another must-see – a stark and
silent place that abounds in surreal natural beauty.
Explore it all in the expert hands of an Aboriginal
tour guide through the award-winning Harry Nanya
Tours which operate from Wentworth and Mildura.
Enquire at the Buronga office for camping and
accommodation details.
Rolling red sand dunes, wetlands, woodlands, flattopped mesas, undulating gibber and grass plains
combine in one of the largest, most distinctive
national parks in New South Wales. Named after
the famous explorer, Charles Sturt, Sturt National
Park is located in the north-western corner of the
state near the small township of Tibooburra. It is
bounded to the north and west by the ‘wild dog
fence’ – the longest fence in the world.
There are several walks and drives within the
park as well as places to stop and absorb the
beauty of your surroundings. Walk to Sturt’s Tree
across Lake Pinnaroo for a sense of what it must
have been like for the first European explorers
visiting Wangkumara, Maljangappa and Wadikali
country. Aboriginal occupation here dates back
20,000 years.
Sturt National Park is particularly famous for its
magnificent red kangaroos. Grey kangaroos and
euros can also be seen, along with emus, bustards,
brolgas and birds of prey. The abundant birdlife
is due to the park’s diverse ecosystems which
include a Ramsar site at Lake Pinaroo. Cap off
your experience under canvas or in a caravan in
one of the national park’s pleasant campgrounds,
or stay at the historic Mt Wood homestead.

SILVERTON
Silverton’s sleepy streets belie what
lies behind the stone facades of its
heritage buildings. The town has
a swag-full of art galleries, artist
studios, museums, a famous pub and
a photogenic café. It’s also famous
as a film location and, no wonder,
considering its classic outback look.
For such a small town, Silverton hosts an amazing
number of visitors. A scenic 25km drive north west
of Broken Hill, the sparse townscape is dotted with
classic stone and iron buildings, all nestled in the
Western Barrier Ranges.
Silverton Hotel
Other worthwhile
attractions in Silverton:
• Watch the sunset over the Mundi Mundi Plains
‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ and ‘Mad Max’
(released as ‘The Road Warrior’ in the US) were
shot on the famous Mundi Mundi plains, 5km west
of Silverton. You’ll marvel at the curvature of the
earth and the beauty of the distant Boolcoomatta
Hills in the Olary Range 90km away.
• Enjoy a cold drink with locals at the
Silverton Hotel
Follow the bitumen 5km past Mundi Mundi Lookout
along the western slopes of the Barrier Ranges
and you’ll find Umberumberka Reservoir, the
most scenic of Broken Hill’s water storages. Built
in 1915, the reservoir and its stunning views are
best appreciated by taking the self-guided walk.
Appreciate the spot even longer by cooking up a
feast on the reservoir’s coin-operated barbecues.
• Experience Silverton Gaol and the
School Museum
• Browse the town’s galleries and meet
artists in residence
• Stroll the Heritage Walking Trail (7km) and
among the graves of the Pioneer Cemetery
• Head into the desert on a camel trek and
shop in town for craft and souvenirs
Penrose Park is a favourite with locals and visitors
alike. Its powered caravan sites and amenities
offer a wonderful respite for travellers tired of bush
camping. It is also perfect for picnickers, with gas

Menindee region
Try everything from fabulous fishing
to first hand experience of indigenous
culture. Watch waterbirds on a lakes
system larger than Sydney Harbour
and enjoy a drink in the second oldest
pub in New South Wales.
Menindee
The township of Menindee sits snugly among the
magnificent Menindee Lakes water storage system
which, when full, holds over three and a half times
the water of Sydney Harbour and provides a
haven for water birds of all kinds. The lakes are
well protected within Kinchega National Park.
Menindee boasts the second oldest pub in New
South Wales, which still serves beer, just as it did
to Burke and Wills who stayed at the hotel during
their ill-fated expedition to the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Copi Hollow Caravan Park
Ivanhoe
For a perspective on Menindee’s pastoral heritage,
visit the Kinchega Woolshed, where six million
sheep were shorn during a century of operation.
At its peak in the 1880s, there were stands for
62 shearers. Today, you can bunk down in the
old shearers’ quarters – an evocative base from
which to explore the national park, go boating,
fishing or bird-watching.
Ivanhoe is a stalwart name for a very stalwart
pastoral town. This classic outback spot was
wrought through hard work and determination
of its pioneers. Retrace their steps, as well as the
exploits of bushrangers, Cobb & Co and early
railway journeys on the Ivanhoe Heritage Trail,
to appreciate the resilience of a town that has
seen it endure through generations.
These buildings are part of the famous Kinchega
Station – a former pastoral property that is now part
of the national park. In the 1800s, Kinchega Station
covered over 404,600 hectares and ran more
than 140,000 sheep, shepherded almost entirely
by Aboriginal people. Steam engines were used
to irrigate the paddocks as early as 1875 and the
station was one of the first properties to use bores.
Pooncarie
Just down the road is the outback town of
Pooncarie, known to locals as simply, the ‘port’.
Like Wentworth further south, Pooncarie was
once a thriving port town, with wool-laden paddle
steamers churning their way downstream on the
Darling River to where it meets the Murray River,
bound eventually for South Australia. Today it’s
a great place for a riverside picnic.

WENTWORTH
Confluence of the Darling and Murray Rivers
From ancient fossils, broad rivers and
World Heritage listed lakes to nature’s
own film sets and 40,000 years of
Aboriginal culture, the Wentworth
Region offers visitors an abundance
of sights, activities and indulgences.
Gateway to the World Heritage area of Willandra
Lakes, including Mungo National Park. An elegant
and spacious regional centre at the confluence
of the Darling and Murray Rivers, Wentworth
was once the busiest inland port in New South
Wales. Today the town preserves its 150 year-old
pioneering history in its restored port precinct,
paddle steamers and historic buildings.
The region also showcases a remarkable 40,000
years of Indigenous culture. One of the best ways
to get a sense of this longevity is by taking the
self-guided walking tour along Thegoa Lagoon
near the Darling River junction.
White Cliffs Opal Mines
While you stroll, you can learn about Aboriginal
sites including middens, hearths (fireplaces)
and see scar trees – from which sections have
been removed for canoes, shields and tools.
One of the most interesting of these trees is
the Boundary Tree – a remarkable living example
of how Aboriginal people grafted branches
together to create an eye or a ring. Visible
from across the river, it was a clever way of
marking a tribal boundary.
Admire shining opals and sleep
comfortably underground in White
Cliffs. Pen a phrase or two on the
wall of the Tilpa Hotel and tour
historic Wilcannia, once one of the
largest inland ports in Australia.
Wilcannia
White Cliffs
Tilpa
Walk on a picturesque island between the two
great rivers and head 6km out of town to explore
the Perry Sandhills. A spectacular location for
many movies and TV commercials, the site has
also revealed fossils of ancient mega fauna.
The opal-rich country around White Cliffs appears
at first like a moonscape, with the craters of
countless mines dotted as far as the eye can see.
Life underground is a way of life here and certainly
the most pleasant way to deal with summer. When
temperatures soar to over 50 degrees above
ground, dugout rooms stay at a comfortable
21 degrees. Visit opal showrooms, fossick for
opal and sleep underground in the White Cliffs
Underground Motel. Nearby must-sees include
the Paroo Darling National Park which
incorporates the Peery Lake Mound Springs.
Tilpa is famous for its pub. The Tilpa Hotel is made
entirely from corrugated iron and is covered with
graffiti that shows off the dry wit of the bush.
You can add your own to the pub walls for the
price of a donation to the Royal Flying Doctor
Service. Tilpa (‘thulpa’) means ‘floodwaters’ in
the local Aboriginal Baarkindji language. Due
to the flatness of the landscape surrounding
the town, it is possible for floodwaters to
spread slowly for many kilometres.

Wentworth’s prime location at the confluence

Louth
White Cliffs General Store 08 8091 6611
About 200km from Broken Hill, Wilcannia is an
evocative step back in time. In 1860, it was a thriving
inland port (Australia’s third largest) and not long
afterwards had 13 hotels and a population of 13,000.
This legacy is apparent today on streets lined with
historic architecture, best enjoyed by walking the
town’s heritage trail.
Louth
Louth was immortalised by the Australian poet,
Henry Lawson, as a place that loved “a drink,
a party and a punt”. With a population of about
30, the quiet town on the Darling River is far less
raucous today but can still turn on a great show.
The Louth Races pull in the punters every year,
many of whom set up camp at the racecourse.

DISTANCES & ROAD CONDITIONS
Private property
Remember many outback roads pass through
private property – treat that property with respect
– leave gates as you find them, always seek
permission before camping and do not litter.

Outback driving often requires managing extreme
weather conditions and long distances between
towns and services, so it is important to take a
few common sense precautions.
Check your vehicle is well set-up for changeable
conditions and fully serviced before you leave.
Consider taking spare parts such as fuses, tyres
and fan belts. A well-stocked first aid kit is very
important, as is a large container of water.
Two-way radios and satellite or Next G mobile
phones are a good idea because normal
mobile service may not be available.
Driving
Always check the road and weather conditions
before travelling to remote areas and let local
authorities know about your intended route.
Avoid driving between dusk and dawn and take
a break every few hours. Also, share the driving
as much as possible. Always check distances
that need to be travelled. Carry enough water
and fuel and make sure extra fuel is secured
properly in appropriate containers.
Drive according to the conditions. Drive slowly
on narrow bridges and be aware of dangers
like flooded roads and wandering livestock.
Take special care at dawn and dusk when
native animals are most prevalent.

Menindee, follow the last leg of the Darling River
Run through Pooncarie to Wentworth. This is
123km of unsealed road, so check local road
conditions at www.livetraffic.rta.nsw.gov.au.
There are a number of choices for the return
journey. Travel from Broken Hill 112km to Menindee
and explore the Menindee Lakes system and
Kinchega National Park. The woolshed is an easy
15km drive into the national park. From Menindee,
head 22km to Sunset Strip and turn right onto the
Menindee-Wilcannia Road. Once in Wilcannia,
you are back on the Barrier Hwy (32).
Twenty eight kilometres south of Pooncarie is
Mungo National Park and the Willandra Lakes
Region World Heritage Area. Mungo National Park
has been continuously occupied by humans for
more than 40,000 years.
Alternatively, head north from Broken Hill to
the rugged Mutawintji National Park, characterised
by beautiful gorges lined with River Red gums.
Join a guide to view ancient Aboriginal rock art
and engravings.
Back in Mildura 110km south west of Mungo
National Park, decide which way you would like
to return to Melbourne. Follow the Murray River
along the Murray Valley Highway (B400) via
Swan Hill and Echuca, or head down the
Calder Highway (A79) to Ouyen and return
to Melbourne via Ballarat or Bendigo.
From Mutawintji National Park, head north-east to
the opal mining town of White Cliffs where residents
live mainly underground. Stay underground in this
strange landscape and use the town as a base to
explore the Paroo-Darling National Park. This park
is centred on the Paroo River wetland system
which attracts an abundance of wildlife.

Tourist Info
Follow the Darling River Run to Wilcannia,
a town with rich architectural heritage from the
late 19th century river trade. From Wilcannia,
Broken Hill is an easy 200km drive.
As an alternative route home, head north from
Broken Hill on the Silver City Highway through
Packsaddle and Milparinka, 330km up to
Tibooburra, Sturt National Park and Cameron
Corner. The highway is partly unsealed so check
road conditions after rain as sections may be closed.
The Sturt National Park is a diverse and remote
landscape; red dunes contrast with wetlands
surrounded by woodlands and grass plains. Corner
Country is where the borders of New South Wales,
Queensland and South Australia converge. This is
an isolated desert setting with spectacular scenery.
Tibooburra may be the most remote town in New
South Wales but you’ll always get a warm country
welcome from the locals. Return to Brisbane
