Off the beaten track – Broken Hill Part One

Where would be a cheap place to go for 4 days which also has enough to see and do? How about Broken Hill? Seems like such an odd place to go to, and you would be mistaken for thinking that there wouldn't be much or anything. <br><br>4 days is a good amount of time to see all and do all.<br><br>But to experience all of this came at a small price, yes financially, but also mentally. I was setting off from Sydney, on the other side of the state. I had to endure a 16.5 hr trip to get here ...

Piles of dirt, long trains, sculptures and plants

Alec felt at home in Broken Hill, where digging for rocks is the major industry He purchased his very own collection of rock samples with his pocket money. He writes:<br>We saw a very long train in Broken Hill [we reckon about 1 km long]. We went up a very big pile of dirt!!! There was a building on it!!!<br><br>The big pile of dirt is fairly mind boggling, especially when you imagine the corresponding volume of holes that must be ...

... the outback to a city called Broken Hill. It was weird that after hours of driving and seeing nothing, this city just appeared! It is a big mining town and we found a hostel and then had a mooch around the town! The guide book mentioned some sculptures - Sculpture Symposium, so the following morning we decided we would go for a look! They were beautiful, 12 sculptures by 12 international artists on a hill ...

Broken Hill and Silverton

... balancing a Piano on your head, maybe (don't laugh, some early Australian explorers have done worse) but 30 years to get to Broken Hill? Perhaps they needed time to perfect a portable fridge to keep the beer cold.) Broken Hill is not only tiny but just one massive red dust-devil of old buildings and little life! We went to see "Mario's Palace Hotel" - the 'Priscilla' Hotel. The three-storey ornate Victorian-balconied building dominates one end of a block, looking very grim with peeling ...

Mad Max at the Silverton Hotel

... geen fotos want de batterij van de camera is leeg en genen elektriek te vinden langs de kant van de weg. Bueno ya llevamos bastantes km y esto es interminable, carretera y manta.... Hace muscho frio por las noches y mi saco de dormir huele a pies, a saber cuantos personajillos han pasado por este saco pestilente. Pero se ha mezclado el hedor con ambientador que le han hechado y el resultado no ha sido muy satisfactorio, pero estoy ...

Broken Hill

Thanks to the newly acquired van backing expertise of Craig, we were out of our tricky location in the Mildura Caravan Park in less than 30 seconds and on our way to Wentworth. Guy had mentioned something he had seen in a children's documentary regarding the Murray Darling Basin. Wentworth, where the Murray and Darling Rivers meet, was only 25km up the road and in the direction of Broken ...

Cruising the Outback to Broken Hill

... Really, At one point I ripped the whole curtain rail off its hooks and the whole room was soaked including my cloths. It was a ****ing Nightmare and I found that the best way to shower way by sitting on the floor and letting the drips of hot water dribble all over me. Once i got the hang of things it was quiet nice. In-fact I sat there on my Ar's for over 45 minutes and run the hot water dry. It turned out to be lush! When I Finlay ...

Broken Hill and the surrounding area

... anybody, this keeps us amused. Broken Hill, or the Silver City as it is known is a mining town located in New South Wales. All of the roads in Broken Hill are named after chemicals such as Bromide, Sulphide, Chloride etc. A boundary rider in 1883 named Charles Rasp found what he thought were tin deposits. He set up a syndicate of seven people and bought the land. In 1884 they found an area 7.5km long and 250 metres wide containing pure silver. The BHP (Broken ...

The Wild World of Hung Over Sports

... in control of the ball, people think you're playing hard. But when you're just jogging down the field, miles from the ball, and next second you're on the ground, cursing, and rubbing the grass stains off your bum and legs....err.....well, I'm sure i managed to brighten the lives of a few people in the crowd! Particularly when this gust of wind came along and blew my entire team's skirts around our ears. Hehehe! No sympathy for the wicked.
