| Broken Hills most renowned artist Pro Hart, painting his town and its people as he saw them. |
We had a two hour "Whistle Stop" as they call it. in the town of Broken Hill. The town was pretty empty as it was around 7pm and everyone had gone home after a very hot day. The town is known for its silver and mineral mines and is quite old for Australia. Now I look at these pics, I wish I had taken more of the wrought iron designs, they were amazing and everywhere.

| Most of the older homes are built from corrugated iron |
 |
| Heres a newer one, made from timber. |
 |
heres an hotel just out of town. in a town called Silverton. another name for Broken Hillis the Silver City.
is the Wild West or what? |
 |
Most of the scenery is pretty much like this. Desert really. |
 |
| I picked this colourful gum nut in flower to paint at home. I just love the shape. |
 |
| This is the main street, just to show you some of the wrought iron work. |
 |
How about this? a bit of Art Deco!!
Hope you enjoyed that taste of our outback!! |
Oh I nearly forgot! Outside the station are two great paintings of trains..
