An art gallery, silversmiths and chocolate factory all rolled into one, the Silver City Mint & Art Centre has a lot going for it.
The headline attraction of this Broken Hill hub is The Big Picture, the work of local artist Peter Anderson, and is said to be the world’s largest acrylic painting on canvas by a single artist.
Tart piece is a staggering 100m long, and up to 12m high, featuring 100,000 saltbushes, 20,000 trees, 20,000 small stones, 1,000 large stones, 3,000 clouds, 1,500 hills and 12 sculptures.
Visit the Chocolate Factory for some fudge and truffles, before heading to the jewellery section to peruse a selection of elegant silver jewellery made in Broken Hill. You might even see the silversmith in action.
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.
