Great outback pub, quite large with alfresco dining, if you don't mind the heat, but it's unde4cover, but you can eat in the pub, at the bar, around the tables or a dining area. The pub itself is full of me orabillia and great photos to view from stars and idols whom have been their including in as, Mel Gibson. The menu is good pub grub, was there about 11, so we chose a burger and chips. The chips were big , fresh and crisp, the burger was home cooked not frozen. But you can get a good steak, fish and chips or pie or good old Chico roll.

Just brilliant, amazing displays of vehicles and lots of photos and memorabilia from actual production, stuntman and actors...... The most enthusiastic museum curator you will ever meet.... it's as awesome and engaging as the movie.....it's a must see when visiting Broken Hill and Silverton. Winter is best time of the year for this region....

Firstly, let me say as a prodigal daughter of the desert finding this little gem has been the beginning I am sure of a great relationship with other artists. Lee and her husband were so giving, interested in Ebonie ( another desert queen) and I much of their time. The gallery is quirky and interesting. I recommended it my artist mates in Sydney and one will visit very soon. I will be back in the home of my birth very soon and hope to reacquaint myself with Lee. I bought a few of her lovely glass pieces and also a Howard Steer small original. Love my sunburnt country and it’s lovely inhabitants. Lee’s hubby does great coffee too.

Enjoyed talking to the artist who has a good selection of originals and prints in different sizes at affordable prices. If you're travelling outback there is bound to be at least one that reminds you of your trip as a souvenir.

We caught up with texts and school paraphernalia we hadn't seen or thought about for years. What an absolute step back in time. Its a very interesting collection of school themed pieces. Certainly worth a drop in while you're walking the town.
