Broken Hill is a city with a remarkable history and heritage dating back to 1876 when it was established as a mining town. In 2015 it became Australia's first Heritage City, recognised for its contribution to the nation's development and prosperity.

One of the best places to experience Broken Hill's history and culture is the Living Desert State Park, a unique 2400ha reserve that showcases the natural and artistic beauty of the city. The Living Desert State Park is located 12km from the city centre and is accessible by car or bicycle.

One of the main attractions of the Living Desert State Park is the Sunset Sculptures.

The Sunset Sculptures are a group of 12 sandstone sculptures created in 1993 by artists from around the world. They are located at the top of a hill that offers stunning views of the desert landscape and the city skyline. The sculptures are best viewed at sunrise or sunset, when they glow with different colours and create a magical atmosphere.

To enter Living Desert State Park, you must pay an entrance fee of $6 per person (as of 2023) at the Tap'n'Go pay station at the entrance.

Living Desert State Park is a must for anyone wanting to experience the history and charm of Broken Hill. It's a place where you can connect with nature, art and culture in a spectacular setting.
