A memorable experience of Broken Hill
Tom’s local knowledge made every stop meaningful and memorable.
Outstanding Service & Honest Tours
Prior to a recent visit to Broken Hill, I booked a tour with Aussie Tom. Unfortunately there was a problem with the weather but I was kept fully informed and a cheaper alternate tour was offered. I accepted the offer of the alternative tour and received a prompt refund of the price difference – a sign of a very honest business. The alternate tour was very good and I was well looked after. I hope to visit Broken Hill again and will plan another tour with Aussie Tom.
So much packed into a single day
I can’t believe how much we saw—from the iconic Line of Lode and Daydream Mine to quirky galleries, the Mad Max Museum, and Mundi Mundi Lookout.
