Silverton and Daydream Mine
|
Silverton is a small village at the far west of New South Wales, Australia, 26 kilometres north-west of Broken Hill. At the 2016 census, Silverton had a population of 50.

The original single story hotel was opened in 1884, to cater for the towns growing horde of miners. A two storey model replaced this, only one year later as the growing Silverton population became increasingly thirsty.
The building burnt down in 1918 and the then used Silverton Post Office became the current Silverton Hotel. |

Historic Daydream Mine was founded in 1881, before the beginning of the Broken Hill Mining Company (BHP). The mine is just a 30 minute drive from Broken Hill.
