Silverton NSW

Today we ventured out to the near-ghost town of Silverton, exploring the iconic Mad Max Museum, wandering through local artists’ studios and galleries, and enjoying lunch at the legendary Silverton Hotel.

A few souvenirs later, including some John Dynon signed prints and donkey socks, we made our way to the Mundi Mundi Lookout, taking in sweeping views across the seemingly endless Mundi Mundi Plains, an expanse so vast you can almost see the curvature of the earth.

Back in Broken Hill, at the boys’ request we snuck in a cheeky afternoon milkshake at Bell’s Milk Bar, reportedly Australia’s longest running diner and a favourite from our last visit in 2023.

And finally, parents’ choice: happy hour at The Palace Hotel, with its eclectic history of hosting presidents, international royalty and legendary entertainers - plus of course the setting for the iconic Aussie movie Priscilla Queen of the Desert, with scenes filmed within its distinctive, mural-covered interiors. Some of us fit right in LOL 😜Lue lisää
