f you’ve ever been inspired by documentaries and wanted to visit the rugged, natural joys of the famed outback, then Broken Hill is the place where you should visit. The city known as “The Capital of the Outback” is located in New South Wales, southeastern Australia. It served as a prosperous silver, lead, and zinc mining outpost and still does today, featuring historical and current work sites. Broken Hill showcases some clever engineering regarding many of its residential houses, using corrugated iron for walls in many cases. Another example of this is the former Broken Earth Restaurant, whose foundation is built on a mullock heap, which is a collection of waste materials left behind after extracting metals. Next to the restaurant, the Line of the Lode Memorial commemorates the town’s beginnings in 1883, progresses going forward in the mining industry, and the workers involved in that progression. Both are found at the top of the hill where Broken Hill gets its name. The city also houses one of the largest solar plants in the Southern Hemisphere, So, plan your trip to Australia and check out these Airbnb vacation rentals in Broken Hill, that won’t leave your bank account broken.
