asylon is on a distinguished road
Broken Hill

OK so it's the back of beyond of NSW but the train stops there and it's worth a look.
It's certainly "real" Australia. Dirty great zinc mine you can go down and dress up in overalls and head torch, some very dodgy pubs and, strangely, some brilliant art galleries.
And Silverton is just up the road, more artists, another dodgy pub and it's where they filmed Mad Max, there's a replica of Max's car outside the pub.
I loved it there.
