Before returning the key, we went for another look at the statues on the hill outside Broken Hill. It had been pretty cold and was getting dark last night when we went.
We then drove out to Silverton. It is about 12 kms out of town. it was originally the major mining town until Broken Hill was discovered, so they moved most of the buildings from Silverton into Broken Hill, Some were towed on trailers pulled by camels!
There are only a few remaining buildings which are made of stone. There is a pub which has been used in a lot of ads and for a few movies, the most famous being Mad Max. The black car is parked outside the pub. There are a couple of pretty good art galleries and a museum as well.
When we arrived back in Broken Hill, we went to the main public art gallery, which also had some pretty great works.
