Outback

Harsh yet also very fragile, the rugged natural beauty of the Outback has been appreciated for millennia by the region’s Aboriginal inhabitants. Aboriginal artworks, some 30,000 years old, adorn sites in Mutawintji National Park.

The Outback is a region of grand horizons, of adventure, emus and opal mines. Here you’ll find some of Australia’s real characters. Outback pubs, quirkily decorated and built to quench legendary thirsts, are full of welcoming locals and memorable stories. Hold your conference in Outback NSW and you are sure to return home with great memories.

Broken Hill, also known as the Silver City, was built on the world’s largest silver, lead and zinc mine run by Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP). These days, Broken Hill offers much more than mining tours and museums. Just outside the city, this special slice of the outback comes alive with its distinctive, clear light and expansive vistas, which have inspired hundreds of artists and photographers.
