Description
Broken Hill is situated 508 kilometres North-East of Adelaide, 50 kilometres across the New South Wales - South Australian border into the semi-arid desert of Far Western New South Wales.
Founded in 1883 by a Boundary Rider named Charles Rasp who discovered the first deposit of silver which at that stage he believed to be tin, has one of the biggest deposits of silver in the world today.
There are numerous tour companies which conduct fully guided coach and four wheel drive tours in and around the Broken Hill area.
Broken Hill is surrounded by the outlying towns of White Cliffs (Opal Mining Town), Menindee (Lakes System on Darling River), Silverton (Hollywood of the Outback), Tibooburra (once a thriving gold mining town) are all worth a visit.
