Broken Hill Outback Experience

Your guide will meet you at Broken Hill Airport this morning and transfer you to your waiting vehicle for the short drive to your hotel. Located on Argent Street in the middle of town, the Astra is one of Broken Hills classic Australian Hotels constructed during the 1800’s and beautifully restored. The rest of the day is yours to relax or maybe explore the local area on foot. Visit the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the Jack Absolom Museum or explore the Broken Hill Miners Museum.

Try dinner at the Astra or one of the local pubs nearby.

Your guide will meet you at 9am this morning for a fun and informative tour of Broken Hill and the nearby Ghost Town of Silverton, made famous by the Mad Max movies. Tour the city and learn the interesting story behind the history of Broken Hill. Observe the unique architecture and see many of the Silver Cities landmarks. Afterwards we continue onto the iconic Silverton. Located 25 kilometres from Broken Hill and with a population of just 50, it would be easy to say that this small town is of no significance though Silverton supports a strong local arts community and is still the site for many films.

Meet the locals and enjoy what makes Silverton so unique in Australia’s history and enjoy lunch at the famous Silverton Hotel. Afterwards, we continue exploring the local area and meeting the characters before returning to your hotel by around 5pm.

The morning is yours to enjoy today. Start with a hearty outback breakfast before continuing to explore the
local area. Maybe take a walk to the nearby JP Keenan Lookout for a bird’s eye view of the town.
Your guide will meet you just after lunch today. This afternoon we have arranged a wonderful heritage and
artisan tour of Broken Hill, learning about the many artists that have called Broken Hill home.
The most famous Australian Artist is Pro Hart. We visit his gallery and see an amazing collection of his works
including a custom painted Rolls Royce. Continue exploring the local art scene before heading out to The
Broken Hill Sculpture and Living Desert Sanctuary. Located on an escarpment overlooking the town, the Desert Sanctuary sits on 2400 hectares of ancient land. Your guide will lead you around the sculpture trail, observing the unique sandstone sculptures and learning of their history and aboriginal significance.

As the sun starts to drop your guide will find a great spot to stop and watch the sun decent over the vast desert a truly Australian experience.

Later, make your way back to your private vehicle and head back to your hotel, arriving at around 8pm.

Enjoy a leisurely start to your day today. Later that morning your will driver collect you for your transfer back to Broken Hill airport for your onward flight home.
