The Living Desert & Sculptures in Broken Hill introduces visitors to an inspiring blend of art, culture and outback landscapes, complemented by the tranquil Starview Campsite nestled within the Living Desert State Park. Together, these experiences offer travellers an immersive way to appreciate the region's art, expansive walking trails and unique natural setting.

Twelve internationally crafted sandstone sculptures crown Sundown Hill, shifting in mood with the outback light and recognised as some of the most photographed artworks in the region. Nearby, the 180‑hectare flora and fauna sanctuary deepens visitor connection to local ecology and Aboriginal heritage through carefully planned environments and interpretive features. The Starview Campsite adds an inviting overnight option, offering peaceful surrounds, native wildlife encounters and direct links to walking trails leading to the Sunset Sculptures and the sanctuary.

The reserve's walking tracks, picnic areas and sweeping views of the Barrier Ranges create an ideal base for exploring Broken Hill's wider heritage, art attractions and surrounding outback scenery. Accessibility features include step‑free pathways, accessible toilets and wheelchair‑friendly facilities, while Starview Campsite offers easy access and fully accessible amenities to support comfortable trip planning.

Travellers seeking a deeper connection with the region's natural and cultural character are invited to discover more and consider planning their stay.
