7/10/11 Broken Hill - Silverton

Silverton is where the "Mad Max" films, starring Mel Gibson, were made.  It flourished during the railway / mining heydays but now has only a pub, some art studios and a small number of local residents homes  and some historic old buildings in various stages of disrepair.

The overflow water from the Umberumberka Reservoir during last big rains has carved out the river banks and left heaps of stones along the river bed.
