Cheap Car Hire or Rental Australia & New Zealand

Art and mining might seem uncomfortable companions. Incredible wealth is produced by one of the world's greatest silver-lead-zinc mineral deposits. But in recent years artists who have found their inspiration in Broken Hill have grabbed as much media attention.  

Although painters have been trying to capture the light and colours of the Hill for more than 100 years, it wasn't until Pro Hart and the so-called bush and naive artists burst on the scene with their starkly-lit imagery that the school flowered.

Today the city brims with gallery-studios well stocked with works in which the artists bring their own interpretations to one of the world's most distinctive landscapes. Broken Hill in Outback NSW is so rich in an often turbulent history that no one museum could ever do the region justice. Visitors can absorb the unique vibes of the past on the heritage walks and drives, and the guided tours of mines, where you can be amazed at the range and beauty of the minerals which have underpinned the city's vast wealth.
