Broken Hill is another beautiful place in the australian outback, the town has an interesting mining history. But its surrounds with Silvertone and the Living Desert Sanctuary with the Broken Hill Sculptures are the milestones of the area. Visit the spectacular Sculpture Symposium and make a daytrip to nearby Silverton, a popular filming location for movies and television shows.
I reached Broken Hill on the daily Explorer Train from Sydney.
Of the 6.500km travelled on board of various trains from Cairns to Adelaide the explorer train ride was absolutely the most exciting and interesting one. The train travels through the most various landscape I have experienced in Australia. More about this train route on a separate page.
Here a recap of the travel distances covered during the second part of my travels in Australia:
6700km by train, across Queensland, NWS, South Australia260 km by bus in Queensland
