RFDS has such a great history across Australia for helping people. Great to learn and see so much history in one place. Their work is amazing. The guide was informative and helpful. It’s dituated close to the airport so if you are flying out go an hour earlier than you. Red to and take a tour

My wife and I really enjoyed the gallery. It was really interesting to learn about the man with tv interviews in the back ground and staff there to answer questions. Wouldn’t take young touchy kids though!

Our reason for visiting was to have Gloria Jeans coffees and drinks.
This centre houses the largest Gloria Jeans in Australia (their claim). It is large with plenty of Seating.....
Good spot to drop in and relax and get information on the Broken Hill area....
Great spot to start in town if you want to know what it offers

Even though we rated this as average, there were a few exhibits/displays that we found very informative and worthwhile to see. These were the Broken Hill Migrant and the Hospital Display and especially the Silver City Comet exhibition.

Visited here early morning. Nothing here but the short walk around the sculptures & the view of the surrounding countryside. Worth a look if you are out this way. Best in early morning or sunset. Beware of wildlife on the roads as there are plenty of roos in the area.

We really enjoyed the current group exhibition in the downstairs gallery and then viewed the permanent collection upstairs. There was also a small exhibition of HSC art major works. Well done to all the students and teachers. We spent about an hour there and then browsed the small but good quality things in the gift shop. Well worth a visit.

Behind the stone façade of the restored former Bond Store, the Albert Kersten Mining & Minerals Museum (GeoCentre) tells the story of how the world’s largest deposit of silver lead and zinc was formed in Broken Hill. It also displays a famous collection of Broken Hill minerals and the ‘Silver tree’ – the intricate silver sculpture once owned by Charles Rasp, the boundary rider who pegged out the first Broken Hill mining lease with his partners.

This is an excellent museum which puts everything you learn about the history of mining in Broken Hill into context. Ideally visit it before you go anywhere else and make sure you watch the 10 minute video from the beginning. Friendly and helpful staff too.

Prominate location with a great view of Broken Hill. There is ample parking, and a short accessible pathway. The memorial has a simple record (date, name, and mine) of those killed working in mines in Australia. The memorial is free to visit and worthwhile.
9. Mutawintji National Park

Perhaps it was the guide who accompanied us, but we were pretty disappointed with Mutawintji. I had seen it pre its access being restricted and thought it was one of the most spiritual places I had ever experienced. This time around, it just didn't feel anything like that, even though we had a guide and were in the limited access area. My partner, whose first visit it was, also thought it was average. The display of weapons etc is behind very dirty glass and hard to see. Our non-indigenous guide just read from a script and didn't add to the experience.I think most of the area must be now off limits, and without those areas, it isn't worth the travel. I note that Tri State gets good reviews for their tour with an indigenous guide and perhaps this would make a difference.
