BROKEN HILL – MUTAWINTJI – WHITE CLIFFS |   |
| After meet and greet at your accommodation, or at the Broken Hill train station or Airport on arrival, we travel to the Mutawintji National Park to explore its history and grandeur with Aboriginal art and haunting memories to take us back in time. The wildlife in and around Mutawintji is also spectacular: Big Red Kangaroos, Emus, Eagles and much more. After a picnic lunch we continue our journey and travel to the remote White Cliffs Opal Field - the oldest commercial opal field in Australia! Tonight dinner will be served by the friendly staff of the famous underground Dug Out Motel, which is also our accommodation for the night – a very unique experience! | ||
FRI/MON |
WHITE CLIFFS – BROKEN HILL |  |
| We will spend the morning inspecting this extraordinary outback settlement. Learn how and why the community lives underground. Visit some underground opal galleries and perhaps purchase one of the magnificent local opal products. Before lunch we'll see the 'Old Field' where in search for colour over 50,000 holes have been dug since the 1890's. Return to Broken Hill for dinner and a well deserved good nights rest. | ||
SAT/TUE |
SILVERTON | |
| Today we visit the 'Hollywood of the Outback', Silverton. Numerous TV-commercials and movies such as 'A Town Like Alice', 'Mad Max II' and many more have made Silverton a special place. Visit the galleries of the local outback artists and see the sweeping ‘Mundi Mundi’ Plains from where it is often possible to see the curvature of the earth. Back to Broken Hill for lunch and an afternoon at leisure. Dinner is included at the Legion Club. | ||
SUN/WED |
OUTBACK SIGHTS AND SOUNDS | |
| Early departure this morning for an outback experience & wildlife tour where we will look for kangaroos and emus, etc. Breakfast will be a real bushman’s treat with all the trimmings. This magnificent meal will be in a remote setting to give you the opportunity to absorb the sights and sounds of the outback. We return to Broken Hill late morning to check in at our accommodation venue, followed by a light cafe style lunch. The afternoon is spent in Broken Hill, visiting the Royal Flying Doctor Service, as well as two of our most recognised art galleries (including an aboriginal art gallery) and the Sculpture Symposium (with a glass of Champagne). A La Carte Dinner will be served at JJ's restaurant at the Legion Club. | ||
