Rare detailed plan of Broken Hill dated 1888.
Broken Hill is Australia’s longest-lived mining city. In 1844, the explorer Charles Sturt saw and named the Barrier Range, and at the time referred to a “Broken Hill” in his diary. Silver ore was later discovered on this broken hill in 1883 by a boundary rider named Charles Rasp. The area was originally known as Willyama.
