What Broken Hill's really like
Andrew from Aberdeen has spilled the beans on Broken Hill - and it sounds like a mighty fine mining town. Read all about it...
To encourage you all to give us the good oil on mining towns across Australia, the very generous team at Caltex has offered us a stack of $50 fuel
vouchers. To be in the running, all you need to do is offer a short testimonial on the town(s) you've lived in.
Your town doesn't need to be on our Mining Towns list (we're happy to take your suggestions on others to include) and they don't necessarily need to be positive. We just want relevant, current details on what it's really like to live in Kalgoorlie, or Mt Isa, or Roxby Downs, or where ever ... so we in turn can spill the beans to other mining families out there who might be considering a move.
Tell us if it's friendly, how to meet nice people, the best childcare centres, schools and shops. Tell us where to go on weekends. Tell us everything, and you'll go in the draw for a $50 fuel voucher from Caltex!
