Living and Working in Broken Hill
Broken Hill provides an opportunity for a tree change. It is located in the far west region of outback NSW, near the SA border. It has a rich mining history and is Australia's oldest mining town. Beyond mining, Broken Hill is recognised for its vibrant artistic community, unique heritage, and as a filming location for blockbuster movies such as Mad Max 2 and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
This charming country town has much to offer, from local cafes to stunning desert sculptures, and is an ideal location for those wanting a taste of country living and to escape metropolitan traffic jams.
