...beyond the Darling River on the edge of sundown... Broken Hill and the inspirational outback... the vibrant earthy colours and magical light of this landscape have drawn film-makers and artists here to capture its special quality... it packs a powerful emotional punch, this dark red soil... there’s definitely a spiritual element in this country... graphic testimony to the struggles of the mining pioneers... the Hill that changed a Nation...
- from: Broken Hill: the accessible outback, edition 17, 2010

Why a Pilgrimage?
Broken Hill and Newcastle have rich traditions as mining/industrial towns, but they also share poetic heritage with their ’Poetry at the Pub’ groups. Both groups have been going continuously since the early 1980s – this is the first time they will officially ‘face off’
