Going mushrooming

MUSHROOMING is a Fun Day Out

Mushrooming season starts on Easter Sunday. Or in other words, it starts on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the equinox. But if you’re like me, you follow veteran forager Diego Bonetto on Instagram to find out…

Silverton, where Mad Max was filmed

Silverton Tour: More than Mad Max

Silverton is about 30kms from Broken Hill. Without a car, I join Milton Hawke of Broken Hill City Sights Tours and a small group on his half day Silverton Tour. It’s been raining and Milton warns “I’m not sure how…

A Week in Broken Hill: Much to Discover

A Week in Broken Hill: Much to Discover

A week in Broken Hill might seem too long, but there’s plenty to do and to see. We spent eight nights in Broken Hill, arriving by train from Sydney on the Outback Explorer and returning by train the following Tuesday….

Another side of Broken Hill

The Other Side of Broken Hill

Bell’s Milk Bar is three kilometres from our accommodation on the other side of Broken Hill. Having arrived by train from Sydney – a long but fascinating journey – we don’t have a car and walk to the 1950s milk…
