BROKEN
HILL – OUTBACK SHEEP STATION – WHITE CLIFFS |
   |
| You
will be collected at your accommodation. Leaving Broken Hill we travel
north for 120 kilometres to a working “outback” sheep
station. This family owned property is unique as it incorporates a
privately imposed and now registered natural sanctuary for fauna and
flora as well as an abundance of Aboriginal rock art. Your guide will
show you some wonderful things, including plenty of wildlife like
big red kangaroos, emus, eagles and much more. We then look for a
nice place to have lunch, before we continue our journey on remote
station roads, through ever changing countryside, to the remote White
Cliffs Opal Field. Dinner and accommodation will be in the famous
underground Motel - a very unique experience! |
|
FRI |
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.

SILVERTON
– BROKEN HILL |
   |
| 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. |
