As Broken Hill was the major destination of our trip, I’d better put down some thoughts and impressions.
Driving into the city there’s the animals – emus, kangaroos, wild brumbies and even camels. Not to mention the sheep and cattle that seem to find food from nothing.
The first thing I noticed about Broken Hill itself is the mine. It is, literally, right in the middle of town, with the main street only a few metres away. The huge pile of slag and diggings towers high above the town and can be seen from everywhere. It’s a stark reminder that this is a mining town first and foremost.
