Silverton Part 1



SILVERTON
Silverton is located approx 25kms north of Broken Hill. It is has been the location of several movies & ads. Probably the best known of these would be Mad Max.
 The boys are seen here on the original Mad Max Falcon

SILVERTON GAOL
In its heyday Silverton was a bustling mining town, caught in the grip of Gold Fever. At one point in the1800’s there were 20 pubs; today the second one built remains & tenders mainly to the wants of the tourist.
The original Gaol remains pretty much as original & has been converted to a museum; well worth a look.


FORDS RULE
The original Falcon 500
