19th - 21st May

We spent the 3 nights in Broken Hill.  We had dinner at the Palace Hotel, which was originally owned by a crazy guy called Mario.  He had murals painted over every single wall in the pub, and it’s a mishmash of paintings with horses in one picture, a mermaid in another one, and even the Himalayan Mountains.  Then you look up and see Italian frescoes on the ceiling.  It was also the location of the movie “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” so a very interesting place.  It was sold recently to 7 young investors who’ve done the pub up and it’s really looking fantastic.  It’s a huge with 3 levels, with intricate lacework around the verandah.
