Have you daydreamed about escaping the daily grind and leaving the motorway traffic behind ? No endless red lights , long queues , annoying workmates or nagging boss to deal with . Just plenty of open spaces , friendly faces , and a slower pace of life . It ’ s time to get outside and away from it all – to Australia ’ s ‘ original outback ’!

Known as the capital of the New South Wales outback , and the only city in Australia to be heritage-listed , Broken Hill is incredibly vibrant and full of surprises .

With more than 65 visitor experiences to choose from , there is something for every traveller , including world class art galleries , quirky pubs , fascinating museums and rich history .

Some of the highlights include a visit to the Pro Hart Gallery , a wonderful homage to the life and work of one of Australia ’ s most iconic and unassuming artists ; the Palace Hotel with its ceiling to floor murals and famed Priscilla : Queen of the Desert suite ; and the Royal Flying Doctor Service tour , located at the Broken Hill airport .
