Car Rental or Hire Broken Hill
Located in the far west of outback N.S.W. Broken Hill is an isolated mining city where the world’s largest mining company, BHP Billiton, has roots in the town. Situated near the border with South Australia at the crossing of the Barrier Highway and the Silver City Highway, Broken Hill has an average rainfall of 235 mm and summer temperatures that reach well over 40 °C. Broken Hill is very close to Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It should be noted that unlike other areas of New South Wales, Broken Hill uses Australian Central Standard Time, UTC+9:30, the time zone it shares with the Northern Territory and South Australia.
Broken Hill is a 1,000 km drive from Sydney and just over 500 km from Adelaide. You can pick up a rental car either from Sydney or Adelaide, and take a drive along the motorway. Once in Broken Hill it is easy to see that this mining city is Australia’s longest – lived mining city. You must see the sunset in the outback; it is truly spectacular as there are a few incredible pieces of high ground where the sun looks like it drops off the end of the world. Remember to drive your hire cars out of town to the best lookout spot west of Silverton, overlooking the Mundi Mundi plain.
Mine tours attract tourists to go underground in the mining shaft and get a real and unforgettable experience of mining. If you go with whole family there is plenty to do at the Silver City Cobb & Co Stagecoach stop. Kids can have pony rides and bigger kids can experience trail riding or supervised horse rides.
