    Small town out of Cowra where they have painted murals on the buildings to depict the town's history. Bushranger territory!

    First township in the area. Established when silver was found in the area. Dusty dry place! Thank goodness for the pub!
    The Mad Max films and "A town like Alice" were filmed here. There is a Mad Max Museum and lots of art galleries to explore.Læs mere

    Pro Hart Gallery

    2. oktober 2019, Australien ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    The late Pro Hart (Kevin) is an iconic Aussie artist born at Menindee about an hour from Broken Hill. He was a miner at the silver mine for 15 years before giving up his career to paint for a living. He certainly made the right decision!
    You can't take pics inside the Gallery but you can photograph his Rolls collection including his painted one!    Læs mere

    Narromine

    3. oktober 2019, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Stopped here enroute home. Rang my parents to say "hello" and learnt that this is where my father was born! His parents lived in the Police Station residence as my grandfather was the Police constable there at the time. My pop was stationed at lots of outback towns, so we often go and take pics of the Police stations.
    Another bit of trivia about the town is that Glenn McGrath a famous Oz cricket player was also born in Narromine and there is a statue in the town park.
    There is a great little motel/caravan park outside the town on the Western side. Good place to stop overnight!    Læs mere
