Broken Hill is deep in the outback — and that's exactly the point. Here's how to get there, however you're travelling.
Broken Hill is around 1,150 km from Sydney, 830 km from Melbourne, 1,530 km from Brisbane, and 520 km from Adelaide. It's accessible from all directions on sealed roads — no 4WD needed.
The event site on the Mundi Mundi Plains is also reached by sealed road, with only the final 2 km being a well-maintained dirt track suitable for all vehicles, caravans, and camper trailers.
The road trip itself is all part of the adventure — just don't rush it, and avoid driving in the dark due to wildlife on the roads.

|---|---|---|
| Adelaide | 520 km | ~5.5 hrs |
| Sydney | 1,150 km | ~2 days |
| Canberra | 1,090 km | ~11 hrs |

Broken Hill is accessible by 2WD on sealed roads at all times. If your route takes you off the main highways, check Local Road Conditions — particularly after recent rain.
