One of the most memorable experiences of Broken Hill is viewing the sunset from the Sculpture Symposium on the highest hilltop 12km from town. The sculptures are the work of 12 international artists who carved the huge sandstone blocks on site.
This spectacular outdoor gallery is part of the 24-sq-km Living Desert reserve, which is home to a flora and fauna sanctuary featuring a 2.2km Cultural Walk Trail and a 1km Flora Trail.
You can drive up to the sculpture summit, or walk up from the sanctuary (around 20 minutes). The lower car park is close to a nice barbecue and picnic area.
The reserve gates close about 30 minutes after sunset. The sanctuary's walks are accessible 9am to 5pm March to November, and 6am to 2pm December to February. Sunset times and opening hours are posted at the visitor centre.
