The statue was eventually moved to its current location in Broken Hill, after it was donated to the city in 1990 to stand alongside the Tourist Information Centre and is situated in the Conservation Gardens.
The gardens were established as a joint project between the Broken Hill City Council, Country Energy and the Environmental Lead Centre to highlight the plant species that can be successfully grown in the local region with our hot, dry climate and low rainfall.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
