Come and visit the Outback Heritage Experience that combines a museum, theatre and gift-shop, with interactive displays showing the history of the Service. It also tributes to the doctors, pilots and flight nurses who work for us, the many community groups and benefactors who support us. Enjoy a talk by our tour guide. View the aircraft in the hangar. Watch a unique film in our 44 seat theatre. Shop for special souvenirs. Explore the Mantle of Safety Museum. The Outback Heritage Experience is unique because it is one of the few working Bases, located at an airport that is open to the public daily. Visitors can tour the Base and explore the Mantle of Safety Museum which showcases over 88 years of remarkable outback history. The Flying Doctor Service is a charitable organisation. We rely on the generosity of the community to continue our life-saving work. All proceeds from admissions and merchandise sales go towards the purchase of new aircraft and vital medical equipments.
Really enjoyed the experience and learning about the RFDS, watched an informative show, got to see the control room and the hanger where some old planes are being restored all with expert commentary.

Hang out with the stars while in Broken Hill. Enjoy a personalised night sky show from the comfort of a reclined chair under the vast Outback sky. You'll be enchanted and amazed by this star-gazing experience. Designed for the novice, our Sky Shows introduce you to famous stars and constellations, nebulae and other objects during a virtual cruise across the Milky Way. You'll experience naked eye and binocular-assisted viewing of the night sky with narration by a knowledgeable guide! We also offer telescope viewing in selected shows. We are outdoors under a lovely clear dark sky - there is no light pollution! While we ask that you rug up like your going to the snow, we also supply blankets and zero degree Celsius sleeping bags to slip into (boots and all) during cold months. Note that outback Australia can be sub-zero degrees from April to November! Very soon, we move to a new location with bathroom facilities and other permanent structures! Keep a watch on our website blog and our Facebook page.

This a definite ‘must do’ when visiting Broken Hill. A short drive out of the city to a fabulous collection of sculptures created in 1993 by a group of artists from all over the world. There are a number of ‘cash only’ attractions in Broken Hill but this one is credit card only and a $6 entry fee per person. Well worth the money. If, like us, you are only going to check out the sculptures and sunset allow yourself plenty of time to wander around before settling down to watch the sun set. It is also a good idea to take chairs and/or a blanket to be more comfortable (some people even had tables for their picnic) and it isn’t too far to walk from your car. Fabulous start to our evening.

The Gallery is Open! Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery is the oldest regional art gallery in NSW. It was established in 1904 following the bequest of three major artworks by Mr. George McCulloch. After three relocations, the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery found its permanent home in the Sully’s Emporium Building. Many of the building’s original features have been preserved to enhance your experience of the gallery. (Look out for the original arch shaped galvanised roof, staircase and original wheel lift.) See our annually rotated permanent collection that is a treasure trove of over 2000 artworks including works from the brushmen of the bush, founding works from the George McCulloch donation and a range of contemporary Australian works. Notable artists include Margaret Preston, Arthur Streeton, Lloyd Rees, Pro Hart, John Olsen and more. The gallery also features major & touring exhibitions as as the annual acquisitive award; the 'Pro Hart Outback Art Prize'.
Booked on line. It's free. This gallery is well worth a visit if in Broken Hill. They have very strict Covid safe practices in place. The art of well know Australian artists is there plus whatever the current exhibition is.
