Broken Hill is at the centre of a large wilderness and desert area.
Renowned for its underground homesteads, scarlet sunsets and land
burnt red from the heat of the sun this
landscape has provided inspiration for at least two of Australia’s
most famed outback painters, Pro Hart and Jack Absolom.
The regions Art Galleries and Museums have been preserved as
monuments to Australia’s oldest inland cities.
This southern inland region encompasses four national parks with
Sturt and Tibooburra, home to thousands of kangaroos, emus and dingoes.
World Heritage listed Mungo National Park is a
lunar landscape of barren windswept plains, surrounded by obscure
sandhills sculpted by none other than natures hand. The sacred rock
art sites and hand paintings at Mutawintii stand as an enigmatic tribute
to the spirits that dwell here and to the mystic dreamtime.
