Silverton is situated about 25 kilometres from Broken Hill. Where once this was a busy mining town, today it's a ghost town, sometimes brought to life by the filming of movies such as Mad Max 2, Razorback, Town Like Alice, Dirty Deeds and many commercials that have been filmed in the area. 

You will visit the Mundi Mundi Plains and the Umberumberka Reservoir. Visit the Old Silverton Goal.
