Broken Hill Tourist Park

Immerse yourself in the stunning outback scenery and experience the breathtaking sunset over Broken Hill at the Broken Hill Tourist Park. Located near the Living Desert Sculptures, this park offers a glimpse of the 1993 public art project featuring 12 sandstone sculptures from artists around the world. The town itself exudes classic outback charm with its heritage, art, and warm hospitality. The discovery of rich mineral deposits in this region has played a significant role in Australia's history.
This was our first experience at a caravan park with our new caravan. We stayed at one of the ensuite sites and it far exceeded our expectations and has set the standard for caravan parks going forward for the rest of our lap. The amenities all appear to be recently renovated and the little details such as fresh bark for the sites was helpful as we've been staying off grid for the past week and it was a nice place to reset. The staff are all friendly and accommodating, there are events on a daily basis which we participated in and met other guests. The park itself is well located and only a couple of minutes to the centre of town.

We got a 2 bed cabin for 4 nights. It was fine for us and our 2 greyhounds. Check-in was quick, friendly & efficient, the rooms were clean. A minor whinge was that the cooking utensils & pots were limited and the kitchenette space was small. Fine for 1 or 2 nights, but if we stayed longer in future we would get a 3 bed cabin.

Great powered camping sites, with no issues getting the tent pegs in. The spots near the laundry were nice and quiet, the spots at the back near the camp kitchen were noisier being near the highway and a business with dog protection at night, and early morning rooster. The bathrooms were top notch. The kids play areas were amazing. Our kids didn't want to leave. We also enjoyed the shared fire pit area. The camp kitchen was indoors and amazing, with outdoor BBQ. The service desk was the most friendly we've used.

Fantastic park! The facilities are modern, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained. We stayed at an ensuite site that was not only brand new but also incredibly spacious. The camp kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and the laundry facilities are top-notch with plenty of machines available. Highly recommend this place!

Westside Plaza is a popular shopping center that offers a wide range of amenities. Although it is generally deemed to be a good place for shopping, some visitors may find it inconvenient when certain shops are closed on Sundays. However, the plaza does have various stores available, including a chemist and Woolworths. Additionally, there is also a butcher and several other shops within the premises. Many people enjoy visiting the plaza as they often encounter old friends and appreciate the affordable prices at Best n Less.
Good under shade parking, great variety of shops and a fantastic shopping centre.

Bell's Milk Bar, Australia's oldest milk bar, is a beloved icon of Broken Hill culture. Originally a small candy store in 1892, it retains its charming 1950s American-style diner atmosphere. With over 50 traditional milkshake and soda spider flavors, as well as an array of delectable desserts, it's a paradise for those with a sweet tooth. Families will appreciate the kid-friendly menu and nostalgic decor.
An Absolute Gem in Broken Hill! What a nostalgic and fun place — I absolutely loved it here! As someone who appreciates a good old-fashioned milkshake, this spot hit all the right notes. I had the banana shake and a classic hotdog, and both were spot-on. The shake was thick, flavourful, and exactly how it should be — they really know what they’re doing. The vibe is like stepping straight into the 50s or 60s, complete with a fantastic little museum tucked away in the back. It’s such a cool experience for families, couples, or anyone just chasing a sweet moment of retro joy. The staff were super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there — which makes all the difference. I even saw them give a little ice cream treat to a customer’s dog, which was such a sweet touch! Would love to see a milkshake sampler tray added to the menu — there are so many flavours I want to try. But either way, I’ll be back for more. Don’t miss this spot when you’re in Broken Hill. It’s an experience. — Alex from Perth
Alexander Z — Google review
Friendly service and I was surprised there's a museum at the back. I hope they advertise that a little bit more. It was very interesting. The ice cream I had was delicious full of peanut butter.. but very icy. I think probably there was a bit of misstep in its preparation. My friends enjoyed their milkshakes and their homemade flavours, though I still feel it was.. just artificial style flavours. Interesting disco Dinner vibe.

It's a retro milkbar. Good milkshakes. No thick shakes on Sunday? Great hot chips. The museum is free and worth a wander through as you go to the dunny (toilet).

We arrived shortly before closing, but were happily seated in the booth section. We both loved the 50's vibe. Staff was dressed in old school outfit which gave us a 'Back to the future' feel. We'll definately return!
Gesine K — Google review
A 50s style milk bar with milkshakes, spiders, waffles and burger-type food. It doesnt appear that the decor has changed much since the actual 50s, so it feels a bit grimy. However, the waffles were fresh and tasty, and the flat white was good but not great. But by far the biggest downer is the lack of relevancy in some of the wall art - images that should have been removed long before now (see pix).

Wow, great place, amazingly you walk in and take a step back in time. We had amazing food. I had the waffles with banana, 10/10.

The Broken Hill Visitor Information Centre is a great starting point for exploring the city. Located near the Sulphide Street Mineral and Train Museum, it offers valuable resources for travelers. The museum itself is a collection of several smaller museums, showcasing various aspects of local history and culture. Additionally, the center provides information on accommodations, activities, and hidden gems in the area.
The Broken Hill Visitor Information Centre is a must-visit for anyone exploring the area. Melissa at the desk was incredibly helpful, providing valuable insights and personalized recommendations for local attractions. Her friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge made our experience enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended!

Best visitor information centre I've been to in years. Very knowledgeable about their own area. Also, have pamphlets for other areas as well. I was so excited to see that, it's extremely hard to get hold of pamphlets these days. We will be touring Broken Hill again, to visit the lovely staff.

Lots of very useful local knowledge provided upon request at the Visitor Centre. An interesting town with so much to do and see. We loved our four busy days exploring BH and Silverton and local attractions. So much creative talent evidenced in the many art galleries. A Caution: We also joined the 10:00 heritage walk but found it very slow and repetitive taking just on 3 hours when it could EASILY be completed in half this time. We appreciate that these tours are run by volunteers with a wealth of knowledge and stories to tell but these could be shared between locations and kept relevant. With temps rising into the 30s less is more!

While visiting Broken Hill with friends, we were sitting having lunch at a Cafe when a gentleman came up to us and introduced himself to us from the Information Centre. He was brilliant and asked us if we had any plans for seeing things in Broken Hill. We had a great discussion of what to see along with some wonderful knowledge of Broken Hill. He also offered us any maps if we needed them. Not sure if this normally happens, but what a great idea of having someone from the Information Centre around in the town with the knowledge of Broken Hill and surrounding areas to talk with visitors.

The Line of Lode Miners Memorial in Broken Hill is a significant site that offers a poignant tribute to the lives lost in the city's mining industry. The memorial, completed in 2001, stands as a towering monument and an open-air museum showcasing old mining machinery. It serves as a reminder of the harsh work conditions endured by local miners and honors over 800 individuals who perished while working in the mines.

The location is amazing, the way they have set this out is just brilliant. We reckon that they should put the information centre up here. The machines that the miners give you are understanding of what it was like. The miners memorial is so interesting, you learn so much, their age, how they pass away, the it happened. I fully recommend that you put this on your list.

The Silver City Mint & Art Centre is a vibrant venue that showcases a diverse range of art, including paintings, sculptures, and jewelry. One of its main attractions is the Big Picture, an enormous 100-meter-long acrylic painting depicting the outback landscape. Created by a single artist, it's considered to be the largest of its kind in the world. In addition to art, visitors can also explore locally made chocolates and unique silver jewelry at this renowned art centre on Chloride Street.
What a great experience. Lots of jewellery and art through this unique set up. Watched a short video to start with. Then meandered through to the cave like experience where you come out on to a walkway and beholds a magnificent art of work that is 100m long and 12m high. In this natural looking setting the artist has captured the true essence of the outback. Magnificent. It the other end settled in to the video of The Big Red, well worth a viewing. More art and jewellery on the way out plus chocolate.

There’s some lovely jewellery in the shop lobby but $8.50 to visit the rest of the shop is pretty ludicrous. The giant painting is impressively large but twee - lots of disproportionate flora and fauna and stuffed toys. And don’t get me started on the fake aboriginal cave 🥴 If you really feel you must go, get the discount coupon from the info centre first - $6 will feel less ripped off.

It is interesting looking at the pure size of the painting but otherwise it's a bit touristy. The building itself uses space quite well and the cave like room with different types of stone and the room in which they make stuff was pretty neat.

The Pro Hart Gallery in Broken Hill, an old mining town, pays homage to the renowned artist who became a leading figure in Outback painting. Pro Hart's artistic vision was shaped by his experiences working on a sheep farm and in the mines, which inspired his narrative art depicting outback life. The gallery showcases many of his iconic works, including scenes of shearing, station hands, miners, and dragonflies.
Review: Pro Hart – A True Aussie Treasure What an absolutely talented man Pro Hart was. His work is nothing short of extraordinary — rich in colour, energy, and storytelling. Each painting captures the essence of Australian life with a unique mix of humour, emotion, and striking detail. From his iconic outback scenes to his experimental pieces using unconventional materials, Pro Hart’s creativity knew no bounds. He didn’t just paint; he brought stories to life on canvas, making art that’s both relatable and deeply moving. Visiting his gallery or viewing his work is a reminder of how one man’s passion and perspective can capture the spirit of a nation. A true Aussie legend and a rare talent whose legacy continues to inspire.

My favourite activity in Broken Hill. The Pro Hart Art Gallery is just out of town, plenty of street parking and only $5 for adults and $3 for kids / seniors to get in. Was wonderful seeing Pro Hart's old house and art studio (which is left in original condition). It is interesting to see his earlier works which were quite conservative and quintessentially captured Australian scenes like at the beach and the cricket. His later abstract works are what most people are familiar with - including the iconic carpet ads from the late 80s / early 90s. There are multiple levels of artworks here and you could spend a solid hour here or longer if you watch the documentary on loop. When the entry is so cheap I always like to support the gift shop so picked up some cool tea towels for home. The staff are really knowledgeable and friendly. There is an outdoor sculpture garden across the road. Several of Pro Hart's sculptures can be seen downtown as well as large painted artworks at Broken Hill Regional Airport inside the departures terminal.

Mundi Mundi Lookout is a picturesque hill that offers sweeping views of the expansive desert plains and the Silverton Wind Farm. Located just a 5-minute drive from Silverton, it's a popular spot for capturing stunning outback sunsets and witnessing dust storms or thunderstorms rolling in. The lookout is also known for being the backdrop for the Mad Max movies and hosts an annual 3-day festival called the Mundi Mundi bash every April, featuring live music concerts and local food.
Spectacular. Spectacular. Spectacular. Do not miss. Be very careful of kangaroos. We got food from the Silverton hotel took chairs and a table and arrived 30 mins prior to sunset. Great access for all. Be mindful of the road with children about. Fabulous disability access, easy parking. Unbelievably beautiful.

A very popular tourist site if you are visiting Broken Hill. The panoramic view is just amazing, a combination of hills and valleys. Apparently, some scenes of Mad Max 2 were shot near this site. This place is a couple of kilometres from Silverton. Bear in mind that the road is very bumpy, and you need to look out for the sudden changes in the road profile. Further some places looked like they were in the way of floodwaters, and can contain some debris if there is a recent flooding. Despite the hardships, it's a must visit, you won't be disappointed.

If you're a food enthusiast exploring Broken Hill, make sure to add S-Que Restaurant & Takeaway to your itinerary. This charming eatery offers a delightful fusion of local and international flavors in a cozy setting. Renowned for its exquisite paellas—playfully dubbed "fancy rice"—and innovative dishes like lobster tacos, S-Que elevates the dining experience.
Went in for a dinner date night and it was amazing. It's a great spot to break up the pub grub variety as S-Que offers an elevated dining experience with some European-inspired dishes. We had the Stuffed Hasselback Potatoes and Beetroot Soup for entree (highly recommend both and mainly the latter for something unique). Then had the Frisk Paella and Duck Breast, which are both excellent unique choices. I finished it off with their specialty Ice Cream Cake dessert, which you must have, paired with a cappuccino. You're met with friendly staff and their excellent service, picking up empty plates as they go. The overall atmosphere is super fancy -- group dinners or intimate date nights are perfect during the night with their dimmed lighting, live fire pit/wall and fairy lights.

Service - 4/5 Mains - 3.5/5 Dessert - 5/5 Overall, our experience was nice. The wait time for our main meals was long. We waited at least 45 minutes. The gnocchi was a little bit bland. The paella had a burnt taste throughout it (the dish was burnt on the bottom) and it was a bit dry. Fortunately, the barramundi and pork belly was very tasty. The desserts tasted AMAZING. Highly recommend. Would visit again.

Attentive service, relaxed atmosphere. Paella was great, prawns a tad overdone for my liking. Would have preferred that the shell was left unpeeled, but delicious. Friends curry (lamb) was quite fatty and not enjoyable they said. Well priced. Will certainly revisit.

The reviewer had placed an order over the phone at Masallas and inquired about the complimentary butter chicken for orders exceeding $60. They were informed that this offer now applied to orders above $80. However, upon arriving to make the payment, their total amounted to $83. The staff member handling the transaction claimed that they hadn't mentioned anything about the free butter chicken and refused to acknowledge their initial inquiry. This left the reviewer feeling extremely disappointed, especially considering they had traveled from Sydney.
We were in Broken Hill for a week on a music tour and this was the most satisfying meal we had during our stay there. We had a massive catered dinner and it was almost completely gone before I could get a plate, so I went back for lunch the next day. Delicious. Thank you for providing us with simple, warm and flavourful food while we were away from home. The staff also came to our final concert at the Civic Centre across the road and it was so beautiful seeing them there. Well worth a visit.

Ordered take out - chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Chicken was ok and naan was soft. Being only Indian restaurant in BH, I have nothing to complain.
R****a — Google review
Great little place in Broken Hill, and probably the only Indian restaurant in the town. A lot of people in the reviews have complained about the Naan, however, the Naans are 'home made' (having had them all my life I can tell the difference) and not packaged naans. That's why they taste different. The food definitely could be better in terms of consistency, however, the fact that one can have Indian food in the middle of nowhere is a luxury. The service was also great and the person taking the order was very polite and kind. Would definitely come back if we happen to pass by Broken Hill again.

This place has amazing authentic Indian food. I think it is one of the best places in Broken Hill to eat. Every time I order the staff are so friendly. It's great value, super fast, and delicious!

The lady here is so rude. She just rudely told me to stay outside. If you are not taking any orders, then at least mention it on the door and not let the customers wait 15 minutes for you while you ignore them and do your own thing Edit: You were open. You just rudely asked me to stay outside. I kept waiting outside for 15 minutes for you to come and take the order. I had to knock again several times until the guy came out and told me that you have too many order already and can not take any more orders. Yeah, I am also not dying to eat at your place either.

Review has been edited. read in full! Ordered over the phone. Specifically asked about the free butter chicken for orders over $60(now $80). Was told that it was now only for orders over $80. Arrived to pay and the total came to $83. Guy who took payment said we hadn’t asked about the free butter chicken so we couldn’t get it and refused to acknowledge that we had in fact asked for it. Very disappointed! Came from Sydney. Won’t be eating here again! EDIT: Called by Sarika not even 20 minutes after leaving the above review, she was more than apologetic over the mixup and offered to deliver the butter chicken to our door. Her service is outstanding as is the food. Will definitely be eating here again.

Excellent choices of curries and sides; during our work visit we ordered from Masallas multiple times for dinner and lunch due to their wide selection of choices. From the naans to the curries the dishes were all delicious and of great size. In addition, the customer service was excellent and accommodating to our dietary requirements. And the Mango Lassi hit the spot! Thanks

McDonald's is a well-established and enduring fast-food franchise renowned for its hamburgers and french fries. During a recent unfortunate incident caused by a power outage in Broken Hill due to a hail storm, there was an issue with the timing of the food left in their warmer. However, their delivery service through Menulog proved impressive as they promptly rectified any mistakes made with missing chips by adding extra muffins and chips to the order.
The cleanest Maccas we've ever been to. Friendly staff and tables cleaned immediately after use. Also the best bacon and egg muffin I've had. Rosie and Chris

Golden Lotus House Chinese Restaurant is a delightful spot for those craving authentic old-style Chinese cuisine. Diners rave about the crispy spring rolls, tender duck, and flavorful sweet and sour pork. The combination seafood dish stands out for its freshness, while the curry chicken has garnered particular praise. Guests also enjoy the well-prepared fried rice and a selection of refreshing drinks, including hot Chinese tea that complements the meal perfectly.
We were just stopping through and decided to grab a meal we read the reviews and were a little worried but had nothing to worry about the food was the best we have had in a long time! Good price, great food would go again if we are in the area. Staff were friendly but straight to the point.
Ashlygh — Google review
the food was OK, the service was ordinary. we arrived and stood at the door for 10mins before walking to the bar and being asked “takeaway” When we were eventually shown to a table, we were not allowed to sit at a clean table, the lady had to clear and clean a table for us. 5mins after being seated we were given a menu and asked if we would like a drink, we said “yes please” and the lady walked off and spent most of the time talking to people on the table beside us After another 10mins the lady came over and asked if we wanted something to drink “we asked for a jug of pink lemonade” and she said “raspberry, same thing …” and 10mins later after chatting to the table beside us again she brought back a jug of Kirk’s Creaming Soda After 10mins the lady came back and asked “what do you want?” … we gave our entrees and almost finished our main - one of them being chicken with oyster sauce and vegetables - when the phone rang and the lady left the table, took the phone call - then didn’t return By this stage, another couple had walked up to the bar and asked for more drinks and she was on for a chat - all part of customer service, I get that but not when you haven’t finished taking our order or at least “train” someone else to answer phones or take orders at the bar After she had finished telling the couple the history of Moscato, she asked us “did you want to add to your order?” when we said “you didn’t finish taking the order” she seemed surprised Our meals came quick as lightning which was great considering we had been there for the best part of an hour at this stage. When we first arrived the venue was ½ full, by the time we got our meal we were the second last table there - the first was the table the lady spent most of her time at When our mains were brought out, it was apparent that the chicken and vegetables was missing oyster sauce to which we were given a blank stare And to top things off, no chopsticks either … Rather annoyed with the whole experience to be honest

Food rice and duck cold. Was told that is how they serve it, heated it in a microwave. Restaurant empty and we were seated where take away customers congregated. After entres, We moved ourselves to another table. High pitched phone ringing for takeaway orders, staff left us half way through taking our order to take another phone call. Very expensive for a substandard meal. Don't waste your time or money. Go to The silver City Chinese, the food, service and atmosphere there is great. We try Chinese in every town we visit and the Golden Lotus is by and far the worst.

The most rudest staff we have ever come across in a restaurant. The 'owner' was very friendly with people she knew and the regulars but completely the opposite with travellers. Asked if we had booked- restaurant was empty although she continued to tell us they were very busy. Yes we understand that they had a lot of takeaways. Gave us 1 menu, had to ask for another menu and literally told to hurry up and order. Food was average, not the best chinese we have had. $10 corkage for wine, which is fine with us but she continued to tell us they were licenced but the cheapest wine was $39 bottle. Not a lot of options to go elsewhere so I think they have the monopoly, could use a lesson in customer service.

Silverton Hotel, located west of Broken Hill near the South Australian border, is a historic mining town known for its artistic community and as a popular setting for outback movies. Despite its dwindling population, the town boasts several art galleries, historic buildings, and a famous pub. Visitors can't miss the Mundi Mundi Lookout with its expansive desert views or exploring the Day Dream Mine.

Great people and our burgers were so good. The egg was perfectly done, chips were good, but we were stalked by birds! Definitely don't feed them! Lol, literally it started with one, and before you know it we were surrounded - and we DIDN'T feed them. Good food, decent prices, and a talking cockatoo at the back near the toilets. Adorable. We aren't into Mad Max, but the other memorabilia around is cool. Worth the stop.

This place is certainly about the vibe. The service can be a little bit short as in a bit rough but it seems okay. I definitely want to come back here and check out all the decoration.

We ordered seafood basket and grilled fish and vegies. Umph, grilled fish, hot chips good but vegies and seafood basket heated food. Our wines were $8 a glass which was good. Best thing was being out there at sunset as the flies went to bed, the camel ride came into town and the donkeys grazed down the road. The hotel was very dog friendly but not busy.

Quite the worst pub food I have ever been served. Bangers and mash, hard to stuff up but they did. In a sentence, set a low standard and failed to achieve it. Cheap thin sausages that appeared to have been tortured in a sandwich press. Gravy that was congealed like resin. This place runs on a memory, thats all it will be to me now. Over priced and over rated. A diehard mad max fan may find the sights of of interest, otherwise save your money, time and suspension.

The Mad Max 2 Museum, located around 20 minutes from Broken Hill in the town of Silverton, is a must-visit for movie enthusiasts. This privately owned museum showcases an extensive collection of costumes, photos, memorabilia, and original vehicles from the post-apocalyptic film series. The owner, a dedicated fan who relocated from the UK to run the museum, has assembled an impressive array of items related to Mad Max 2.
Unreal Experience – A Must for Mad Max Fans If you're heading to Silverton, the Mad Max Museum is an absolute must. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just curious about Aussie film history, this place delivers. The collection is huge – original costumes, vehicles, props, and rare behind-the-scenes photos. You can feel the passion and dedication that went into creating this space. Adrian and Linda, the owners, are legends. Their love for Mad Max and Silverton is infectious. Adrian knows everything about the films and shares stories that make you feel like you’re part of the production crew. Linda is super warm and welcoming – it feels like visiting old friends. There are areas where photography isn’t allowed, but you’ll still get epic shots outside with some of the original vehicles, including pieces from Razorback and of course Mad Max 2. Just a heads up – check the opening hours before you come out, as it can be a bit unpredictable. After the museum, pop into the local bakery – seriously, amazing food. Silverton surprised me in the best way – it’s a little town packed with big stories. — Alex from Perth

The Silverton Gaol and Historical Museum is a captivating destination that offers a glimpse into the town's vibrant mining past. Housed in a former prison, the museum showcases an array of exhibits that depict Silverton's early mining years. With artifacts spread across 18 rooms and cells, visitors can explore the region's history, including its transition to Broken Hill. Additionally, nearby attractions such as the Mad Max 2 Museum provide an alternative perspective on the area's recent heritage.
WOW was I mistaken, I would be in and out of this small museum in the matter of a few minutes, so so wrong. This is a huge museum covering the whole of the history of the town of Silverton, from the beginning of the mining, and showing all aspects of the whole town over the years. While we had limited time and rushed through in only a couple of hours, you could spend almost all day here. Please do not judge this book by it's cover, or its name!

Another great museum in Silverton, the Silverton Goal is a beautiful old building and had a very extensive collection of historical artefacts from the area.

I spent a good hour here today fully entertained and only left as I had the dog with me. There’s plenty to see, more than expected that’s for sure. 18 rooms of history both from the Gaol itself it also collections from the whole area. You can certainly get a feel of life in the ‘old times’ of Silverton and of the many mining exploits throughout the region. Everyone would find something of interest whether that’s family life or mining. Got to be worth a visit.

Campground
Penrose Park Silverton offers a true Australian camping experience at the edge of Umberumberka Creek, near the Mundi Mundi Plain and close to the annual Mundi Mundi Bash. It provides a peaceful outback setting just a short walk from Silverton and 20 minutes from Broken Hill. The park features powered and unpowered camping sites, caravan sites, en-suite cabins, and a bunkhouse with disabled access.
Very large sites in the powered area and the unpowered area is very large too. A lot of children's play areas and a vintage train engine too. It's very peaceful and the caretakers are wonderful. The bathrooms are clean and very spacious and the shower had the best water pressure I've had in a caravan park shower, it was bliss. It's only a short walk to the pub and the camp kitchens are well set out too.

Laundry is terrible. 3 ancient top loading machines and only 1 works. Bring your $1 coins. The floor of both the laundry and showers is dirty as are the shower curtains. No water at the basins as the water can't be used. The sites are great - sizeable and flat which brings my rating to 3 stars.

We will return again and again.

The Historic Daydream Mine in Broken Hill offers a glimpse into the underground life of miners from the 1880s. This well-preserved silver mine provides guided underground tours, allowing visitors to explore tunnels and voids while learning about the challenging working conditions of early mining days. Located around 20km north of Broken Hill, it's a must-visit attraction when in the area.
Best hands-on and real-life underground mine tour I've been on. Our tour guide today was Tyson. A great young bloke who knew the history of the area well. This non-working mine is about a 20-minute drive out of Broken Hill on the way to Silverton. The underground tour is not for anyone who doesn't feel comfortable in close spaces of which I'm one. However, I went down with some trepidation, and I was ok. It is a little tight in a couple of spots and you do need to be sure footed as well, but there are railings to hold onto and its only a few minutes before you can stand fully upright again. It might not be suitable for people with larger frames and who are over 175cm tall as these mines were originally created by our Cornish forefathers, and they were quite small in stature. We arrived not as part of a tour group, but we were able to purchase our entry tickets and enjoy delicious freshly made 'Cornish' scones, with jam ad cream and a nice cup of tea. It's a top spot to visit and well worth including in your itinerary. Also, it's best to call ahead and book in. We didn't, but we were given a private tour on this occasion. If you buy your tickets in advance, you'll save a few $$$'s.

Getting to see & experience this historic mine (in operation from 1880s) was very enlightening. Whole new appreciation for how hard a miners life was. The underground tour can be tight in some places and not everyone on our tour coped well with that, so just bare that in mind if you are claustrophobic or have a large frame. Scones at the end were lovely. If you have the time when out Broken Hill way I recommend popping in for a visit.

The area seems pretty looked after, they try their best. Very friendly people and full of tourists. The road to get there can be very rough though. I just hope next time that I can understand the tour guide better, his accent was abit mumbled. It is full of information and memorabilia. When there was a big crowd and the buses of people coming in, it was a little bit confusing. Who was going with which group. There is very little mobile reception so best to bring cash as the payment systems for card can fail.

Really enjoyed the mine tour experience. Very real and certainly not "modified" for unfit tourists. On the negative - the grumpy old man at reception needs to let up on his lecturing for cash payments. For improvement - our guide Angus was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humor, however, his mono tonal and rapid speech made it difficult to understand him all the time and would have been impossible to understand for many O/S tourists.

Terrific insight into the mining realities of late 19th Century. The life beyond tough, makes today’s workplaces seem like an absolute picnic! The guide really told it how it was, which was fascinating and horrifying. Highly recommended tour. Scones afterwords delicious. NB: Apple Maps sent us to the wrong spot, so I’ve reported the issue

An eye opening tour about Australian historic mining. The guide was very knowledgeable and was great. I highly recommend the underground mining tour, but you do need to be about to walk down/up stairs and hunched over in the areas only 1.2m high. Enclosed shoes are a must. Our 8yr old loved every second of the tour. It's very authentic. Try the scones and tea afterwards or beforehand, yum. The staff here are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.

What a wonderful find in Silverton! We were a bit hesitant to go in at first but so glad we did! Pies and french pastries in the middle of the outback, like a mirage! Was such a lovely experience and would recommend to everybody to step inside if in the area.

I absolutely love the Silverton Bakery! It’s not just a great little country bakery — it’s honestly the best bakery I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. If I lived closer, I’d be there every week without question. Sadly, I’m about 1,000 kilometres away, but that hasn’t stopped me from dreaming about it regularly. Their lamb pie is hands-down the best pie I’ve ever eaten — no exaggeration. The filling is rich and savoury with beautifully tender lamb, and there’s a subtle but perfect hint of mint and rosemary that takes it to a whole new level. It’s a flavour combination that works incredibly well and gives the pie a bit of an elevated, gourmet feel while still being hearty and comforting. The cinnamon buns are another standout. They’re soft, perfectly spiced, and topped with a generous layer of cream cheese icing that’s not too sweet — just right. It’s one of those treats you eat slowly just to savour every bite. Everything here feels like it’s made with genuine care and passion. It’s a charming spot in a beautiful part of the world, and absolutely worth the detour if you’re anywhere near Silverton. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area.

The Broken Hill City Art Gallery, housed in the historic Sully's Emporium building, offers an eclectic collection reflecting the town's unique character. The gallery showcases works by the controversial Brushmen of the Bush, including Pro Hart, as well as classical European pieces from George McCulloch's collection. With a strong focus on Indigenous art and featuring renowned artists like Arthur Boyd and Tim Storrier, it also hosts ongoing exhibits of Australian painters past and present.
We traveled to Broken Hill for the Pro Hart Outback Art Prize, in which I was a finalist. The staff and Gallery Director did a great job of hanging the show. It looked fantastic and the opening was a success. The Gallery is a beautiful space with a strong art collection you can view in the upstairs gallery. The staff are very helpful and welcoming, I do recommend popping in for a look.

Lovely park, but couldn't use the dog park facility, and whoever heard of a park where you cant use toys? We are travelling and desperately need somewhere to let our dogs run hard for 15 mins or so, at which point we leave and let the next people have free run. At this one, people were using it like a picnic area with prams and small kids. Our dogs would have been too boisterous. After walking around for 15 mins or so, and nobody moved on, we gave up and left.

This was such a delight. Run by local volunteers who clearly love what the do. So informative. Thought we might be 30 minutes, 2 hours later we had to leave to search for food.

What a great place to visit and spend an hour, very well presented and informative volunteers. I particularly enjoyed being able to climb aboard the engines and walk through carriages, really getting a feel for the times. My favourite being the 1937 Silver City Comet, acquired in 1990. Most trains on Australian lines were built in Manchester, England. What a journey to get to Broken Hill. There’s plenty to see of general life through the times that will entertain all.

A real gem. This place has a few old carriages, and a lot of information about them. Usually not that busy, and takes around 20 mins to go through the place.

Well worth the entry fee. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but once you step in the door you realise you’ve found a gem (pun intended). Not so suitable for very small children but anyone aged 10+ should enjoy themselves. You don’t need to have an interest in minerals/mining, it’s interesting regardless. Allow about 45 minutes for a full walkthrough. There’s some gems and such available in the gift shop.

I move this Pub and love this town!! Arrived 5 days ago from Wisconsin. The setting is great. Spring is really coming along and you can enjoy the sunshine at lunch time. Plus the daily specials are just great. Today. Monday. Is the Chilli Mussels….. a very generous portion. The sauce was simmered perfectly with just the right balance of garlic, peppers and tomato sauce. Plenty of sauce to accent the mussels and the garlic bread. The flavor from incredible from the first bite to the last. Be sure and save a little of your bread to get every bit of the sauce from the bottom of the plate. The staff, chef and people are super friendly.

We cannot fault our visit to the BHP. We’ve travelled extensively & I would have to say, hands down, the BHP’s Roasted Vegetables & Quinoa Bowl (w Grilled Haloumi), was the best I’ve had. It was packed with flavour; from the burst of the fresh pomegranate to the creamy tang of the tahini dressing, it was a taste sensation. My husband couldn’t go past the Chicken Schnitzel & that was equally impressive. The portion size of both meals was generous. We’ll probably return before we leave Broken Hill.

Nestled in a cozy corner, Silver City Chinese Restaurant is a hidden gem that locals adore. This unpretentious eatery boasts an inviting casual atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a laid-back meal. Their lunch specials are not only budget-friendly at $16 but also come with generous portions that will leave you satisfied.
Food was very good although when we ordered a Chow Mein we were told they had no crispy noodles. We asked if we could have ordinary noodles instead which we did - although there was an additional $3 charge (a bit odd as only requested as an alternative to the unavailable crispy noodles). Even so, food very enjoyable. We feel that the atmosphere could be enhanced with a little Chinese music, not too loud.

Not recommended. Fried rice was utterly tasteless. Literally, no taste. Just boiled rice with oil and vegetables thrown around in a wok. Honey king prawns, I’m guessing, have been kept in the freezer since 1976. Huge serving but incredibly disappointing in terms of flavour and total lack of freshness. Chewy, tough, dry, stringy and inedible. Not kidding; could not chew through the prawns. Inedible. Gave up after two. Service very pleasant and courteous. Turnaround fast. Clean presentation at front bar. Would suggest you eat elsewhere if your taste buds are in need of some fun.

Can easily walk past this restaurant with an unassuming exterior and limited signage. Once inside it is evident by the numbers this place is well known to locals. Excellent value lunch specials at $16. Huge portions and fast service. Cans of drinks served with glasses with ice. Mongolian Beef was pretty good by country Australian standards. Looks like restaurant was once a pizzeria so not a whole lot of atmosphere inside. Friendly staff.

Not recommended - large portions of not good '70s version chinese/Australian food served in an old pub on plastic plates. Food = disgraceful, horrible - Service = not present. First 1/2 hour was listening to some drunk on the phone using obscene language to his mate, but they still served his alcohol to take away. Wine selection not available - what you can get is over priced crap. DO NOT GO HERE. Not good. This place is a disgrace.

They are not charging enough for it (in Melbourne/Sydney you'd pay twice as much to get less). You get the Turkish bread, bacon, ailoli, egg, proper serving of chips the lot. Highly, highly recommend tell your friends.

Went here as I was looking for gluten free cafe. No mention on menu of any gf or gfo meals. Had to ask at counter. Was told salad was gf. Asked if beef patty in burger was gf as I was thinking of having a naked burger. Server did not know nor did chef. Always concerned about a premise's knowledge of gf when it's not addressed on the menu, and the chef doesnt know about ingredients. I wouldn't return here for a gf meal.

I went there because it was open early. Was surprised to get the best bacon and egg roll I've had in my life. Lightly toasted brioche bun, heaps of bacon. Just brilliant

Hotel
The Palace Hotel is an iconic venue offering a range of accommodations, from simple rooms to quirky suites, along with a vibrant restaurant. Known for its historic charm and mural-filled interiors, the hotel also gained fame as the setting for the 1994 film "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" and hosts the Broken Heel Festival. The on-site restaurant offers diverse dining options, from schnitzels and burgers to upscale dishes like paellas and Lebanese cuisine.
(Restaurant review) Positives: - This is by far the best pub-style food in Broken Hill. - The Filets Mignon were the best I had in a very long time, even though I frequently visit restaurants that are nominally much "classier". - The servers are helpful and friendly. Negatives: On the pricier side, and you should expect the portion sizes to be closer to a bistro than to a pub.

🎬 The Palace Hotel’s restaurant in Broken Hill serves up generous portions and good food, making it a worthwhile stop for a meal. Its claim to fame? A starring role in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which adds a nostalgic charm for fans of the film. While the interior could use a refresh, the quirky murals and themed suites still carry that eccentric vibe the hotel is known for. A fun visit if you’re chasing a bit of movie magic with your meal.

Great service, tasty food, and this place is full of friendly faces! A must-visit to take in the incredible murals and have a beer. Absolutely incredible place steeped in history, you certainly don’t want to miss this!

While in Broken Hill I thought I'd visit the hotel made famous by the film Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I must say the the 'reality of Hollywood' is very different from actual reality, but it is absolutely worth visiting. The staff were friendly and meals were 'typically pub' and quite nice.

We booked for a dinner for two - and what a wonderful meal we had! The Fillet Mignon literally melted in your mouth according to my partner and my salmon main course was as good as any restaurant Melbourne meal. The service was spot on and when we requested a cheese platter - which wasn’t on the menu - the manager/owner and chef couldn’t do enough for us and we received a spectacular cheese platter. We’ll be back!

We didn't get are chance to stay here as we where staying somewhere else. But it was important to us to visit here. 41 years ago my wife and her parents stop here on their way to Sydney. So we wanted to recreate the only picture that she had. Here it is the top picture is from 41 years ago.

Wow oh Wow... We stayed in the Priscilla Queen of the Desert suite that I can promise you will be the best suite you would have ever experienced. The suite boasts 2 sets of windows/doors that open up to the large wraparound verandah and consists of 4 separate rooms (Bedroom, Bathroom, Sitting Room and Entrance). Each room is eclectic and quite different from the other. Each direction you look, whichever room you're in, provides you with a unique experience. A pink flamingo and 60's lampshade in the entrance, to a chandelier figurine lamp in the main room, to a 70's style mirrored bar cabinet in the sitting room with a record of ABBA and player... Why??? Because you can!!! Did I mention draws full of cutlery, bottle openers and outdated and fun glasses!! The Bathroom features a large claw foot tub and rain shower with tiles and tapware that scream Priscilla. The bedroom is huge... Murals around all 4 walls including the ceiling, that make you feel like you've transported to a national park... King Bed and a massive screen TV and of course a DVD... of course... Priscilla... Because you just have to 🤣 Do yourself a favour and stay here... So much fun... I haven't laughed this hard in years. There is a lift in the building and a staircase that you almost fall off from rubber necking the myriad of murals on the way to Priscilla's suite. We also had dinner downstairs in the bistro which was typical pub meals. It's a good wrap isn't it, and no I'm not earning a commission for this review... This place needs to be seen to be believed... Go, Go, Go!!! Staff are friendly and helpful.
