Silverton & Lightning Ridge
In 2016 Amanda and I went on a really good trip out to Silverton and Lightning Ridge. We visited a load of other places along the way including Moree, Quirindi, Walgett and Connabarabran. It was a really awesome trip and we’ve since been back to a lot of the locations. Silverton is a great location to visit just outside of Broken Hill. It has a very famous pub as well as being the location of the Mad Max Museum – the museum is bloody awesome!
