About as far west as you can go before hitting the border, Broken Hill is one of NSW’s most legendary outback towns. But its streets are coloured in more than just red dirt, take a wander and you’ll find a vibrant cultural melting pot: the heartland of Australian mining, an LGBTQIA+ icon thanks to its star-making role as the backdrop in the hit film Priscilla Queen of The Desert, and the inspiration behind some of the country’s most iconic artists. Home to more galleries than pubs, explore a town that isn’t afraid to break creative rules. Discover the unexpected – and eccentric – side of this desert frontier town.
The red dirt landscapes and outback heritage of Broken Hill has made it an oasis for artists and art lovers. Here's how to experience the desert city's creative cache in 72 hours.
