Silverton (20 minutes drive)
One of the easiest and most rewarding day trips from Broken Hill is to Silverton, a little more than 20 minutes drive from Broken Hill Tourist Park.
A classic outback town, Silverton and its spectacular surrounds offer an array of unique finds. Behind the sleepy streets and heritage stone buildings is a swag-full of art galleries, artist studios, museums, a famous pub and an atmospheric cafe.
Nestled in the arid landscape of the western Barrier Ranges, Silverton is spectacular in a classic outback sense. No wonder the town is more famous as a film location than most places in Australia. The historic Silverton Hotel has featured in more than 100 films and commercials.
Daydream Mine (under 40 minutes drive)
No trip to outback NSW is complete without a visit to Day Dream Mine. It descends deep into the earth and gives visitors a real sense of what it must have once been like wielding a pick and shovel in such challenging conditions. Find out more here
Menindee Lakes ( under one and half hours drive)
Enjoy a relaxing day exploring this outback oasis abundant with spectacular native birds and wildlife. Guests have been known to enjoy a swim and catch a fish or two! Boat, fish, swim and even waterski. Be sure to make time for lunch at the historic Maidens Hotel where tragic early explorers Burke and Wills camped in 1860.
