Summary

Description
English: Panoramic view of the main section of the town of Broken Hill, NSW, Australia. Behind the town centre can be seen the man-made mullock heaps built from the waste rock from the Line of Lode mine that dissects the town (the mullock heaps are the "hills" that stretch almost the full width of this image). Over 800 workers lost their lives working the mines on the Line of Lode; a Miner's Memorial dedicated to their memory can be seen at the top of the left end of the mullock heap.
