Silver City Mint & Art Centre — Local services in Broken Hill

It's definitely worth a visit but my experience this latest time I visited wasn't the best.

The lady behind the desk I think might have been having a bad day or was just a little over it, didn't show much enthusiasm when talking me through where to go and what to see in the gallery.

The artists in this gallery are simply incredible, however felt a little tacky with bright neon signs on most of the beautiful paintings that said "10% off for cash!" .
