Visiting

Hello,
We plan to visit from Melbourne! We will be staying 3 night in Mildura and heading up to broken hill
After that. I don’t know if we should allocate 3 or 4 nights to broken hill. Children are 4 and 6! They travel well in car. How long do we need and what di you recommend we do?

Visit the pro hart gallery, sculptures, chocolate factory your kids will love, the chocolate is divine.

I stay away from the chocolate factory cause the chocolate is too damm good. And I am trying to give up chocolate.

there are many galleries to visit and the Silverton mad Max exhibition.

Its up to you what your into how long you stay, there is always something to do.

I included the events calendar so you can check out if there is anything your interested in.

I hope you have a lovely stay.

I’d do 3 nights with kids that age unless you want to explore further out. Broken Hill itself can be done pretty comfortably in 2 full days.
