BROKEN HILL

The desolate landscape surrounding Broken Hill has made the town a mecca for artists and film makers.  It was the desert surrounding Broken Hill, the clear blue skies and the magic light that made this area perfect for filming Mad Max 2 and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Broken Hill is billed as "The Accessible Outback" and is the biggest mining town in Australia. Located in far west New South Wales, the town has a population of 21,000 and has been called a "Living Museum".   In 2006, Broken Hill's last mine, the Pasminco Mine will close. The town is known for it's many historic buildings, it's mines and the desert that surrounds the town.
