Tom made us feel right at home. He knew everyone, shared great stories, and showed us places we’d never have found on our own.
Tom’s local knowledge made every stop meaningful and memorable.
I was delighted to find Aussie Tom’s Tours on the Visit Broken Hill website. Tom kindly arranged an airport pickup which fit perfectly with the tour timing. I really enjoyed the tours, discovering Broken Hill’s unique attractions and learning so much about outback life from Tom’s excellent local knowledge.

Looking for a shorter option? Try the Silverton Outback Escape. For a completely different experience, the Pub Grub Tour offers a social food and pub-focused outing.
Each stop offers a different perspective on life beyond the city — from underground tunnels and historic buildings to vast desert plains stretching to the horizon. Along the way, your guide shares stories of prospectors, settlers, and the characters who shaped this remote region.
The journey is designed to balance exploration and comfort, giving you time to walk through key sites, capture photos, and take in the scale of the landscape without feeling rushed.
Step back into the early days of mining at Daydream Mine, where you’ll gain insight into the conditions, challenges, and determination of those who worked beneath the surface. Combined with visits to preserved buildings and museum spaces, this creates a vivid picture of life during the town’s early years.
It’s this blend of storytelling and location that transforms the experience from a simple day trip into a genuine outback adventure.
Your day begins with pickup from your Broken Hill accommodation before heading into the surrounding outback. Along the way, you’ll hear insights into the region’s geology, history, and cultural significance.
At each location, there’s time to explore, ask questions, and take in the scenery — from historic interiors to expansive desert views. The experience runs at a comfortable pace, offering a well-rounded introduction to the region.
