Broken Hill also provides the perfect base for exploring the area – be it the attractions just out of town or further afield into the great Australian outback.

Close to town are attraction like the Sculpture Symposium, Silverton and Mundi Muni Plains. Slightly further away there are two amazing National Parks (Mutawintji and Kinchega), the mighty Darling River (and the “The Darling River Run”) and the Opal town of White Cliffs. Even further afield; to the north is the area known as the Corner Country (Tibooburra, Milparinka, and Cameron Corner) with the vast Sturt National Park, while to the south is Lake Mungo (Mungo National Park) and further south (along the Darling River) is Wentworth where the mighty Darling meets the Murray River.
