Silverton NSW, is located about 25 kms NW of Broken Hill and was once in the mid 1800's a mining town of about 3,000 people. Now a population of about 30 people, it varies. The roads are what we call bull-dust, red sandy soil that gets into every crevice of anything you own...remember the movie Mad Max! It's was not that far away that the movies were filmed, actually part of Silverton plus the Hotel was in the movie.
Silverton is in the outback of Australia and we had an opportunity to visit there a few years ago whilst staying at Broken Hill, a mining town in the outback.
The Silverton Jail, now a Museum.
A look alike Mad Max vehicle parked outside the Silverton Hotel.
Awesome and very different inside this Hotel, but alas I didn't take a photo.
We had a nice lunch here. Lovely and clean and good food.
I certainly like the MadMax car.

Well M I am impressed I did enjoy the Mad Max movies even though they scared me but something about Mel at the time kept me watching.
ReplyDeleteIt is like an entirely different world where you are and I am. Someday my friend maybe I will get there. Hugs G
