After touring White Cliff we drove 2 hours west (further into Australia) to see Broken Hill. 
The road to broken hill!
Broken Hill is an isolated mining city in the middle of the outback of Australia. Broken hill is famous for two things. (1) Silver mines, they produce more silver, lead, zinc ore than anywhere else in the world!
Here we are touring the silver mines...they had a giant bench!
and (2) art! Broken Hill has the famous painted desert sculptures, which I am sure you have seen on the cover of any Australian Tourist book. They have aboriginal art, desert art, and a famous art school. We toured the museums and were very impressed! Here are some pictures from visiting the painted desert!

Leaving the desert....a storm is coming!

You say: "I am sure you have seen on the cover of any Australian Tourist book." What a good sense of humor you have!
