Summary edit
DescriptionSilverton, NSW.jpg |
Silverton is a small village at the far west of New South Wales, Australia, 25 kilometres north-west of Broken Hill. The town sprung up after the discovery of rich silver deposits, although it was soon eclipsed by an even richer silver-lead-zinc ore body at nearby Broken Hill. The town is often referred to as a ghost town, however there remains a small permanent population and mainly tourist related businesses. Most of the original buildings have now vanished or lay in ruins, but there are some interesting buildings that remain, including the Silverton Hotel and the Silverton Gaol. Silverton has been the scene for more than 140 films and commercials thanks to the light, the character-filled colonial buildings and its scenic desert surrounds. The hotel is regularly featured in these productions, and its inside walls are covered with memorabilia. A replica car, the Pursuit Special from Mad Max and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, is usually parked outside the hotel. Other well known productions filmed in and around Silverton include Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, The Flying Doctors, and Dirty Deeds |
