History & Heritage

History runs deep around Broken Hill and Silverton. Discover an indigenous culture dating back thousands of years, be moved by 135 years of mining triumph and tragedy, and sip a milkshake in Australia’s oldest milk bar. It’s a one of a kind slice of the Outback experience.

Thirsty? Drop into The Original Silverton Hotel for an ice cold beer and a chat with the locals. It’s the heart and soul of this tiny town, a place where everyone from miners to movie stars have shared a drink for more than 130 years.
