G’day! I'm Lauren. I grew up in Cobar, a mining town, and now live in Broken Hill. I'm really interested in the mining history and heritage buildings of Outback NSW. I love exploring the stories of Cobar and Broken Hill. I love discovering the unique past of our towns and sharing the stories of the mining legacy in the Far West of NSW. I'm always looking for new things to learn about our region's incredible history. I'd love to explore it all with you!
