Broken Hill is the gateway to Outback NSW and South Australia. The town was established to exploit the world's
largest silver, zinc and lead mine. The area has a fascinating history and heritage which is showcased
in the local buildings and museums. The town has a rich art and crafts community
and there are more than 30 art galleries in Broken Hill that exhibit works by
local artists inspired by the stark and barren local landscapes and its surrounding landscapes.
Despite the stark surrounds there are many activities and recreation opportunities in Broken Hill.
Take a trip to the Living Desert Fauna and Flora Sanctuary, located about 6 km from the town.
Enjoy strolling along the Heritage Trail through the town.
Visit the famous Silver City Art Centre and Mint and see local artists smelt, cast and turn local silver ore
into jewellery. See the links below for a guide to the annual events calendar in Broken Hill,
