Hi Brains Trust,
we are planning another trip out to Mungo-
Menindee-
Broken Hill -
Silverton and was wondering if any one had been to the
Red Hill Hotel, an old film set out near
Silverton, and if you had any directions how you found it. i can't find it on any maps, internet listings etc as to how to actually get there. Any advice would be great for around this area a bit out of the normal.
Cheers,

I may be wrong but I think the place you're looking for is what was known, or maybe still is, as the Little Topar Hotel on the
Broken Hill to
Wilcannia road. Worth a start anyhow. I think the movie "Wake In Fright" may have been filmed around here.

Thanks for the Reply. You are close and on the right track that
Red Hill Hotel was a movie set. It was purpose built
Red Hill Hotel
around 1980's but i believe it is on the Mundi Mundi plain somewhere.

UPDDATE
The
Red Hill Hotel is now privately owned and the location is kept a bit quiet as it is on Private Property.
No visits for me.

If you do get to
Silverton and you havn't been to the Museum, its probably the best I have seen in a country town and only few dollars entry. I think its the old Gaol from memory. Michael

Was so disappointed when I went there last.
Used to play in the old buildings including the old gaol and was looking forward to showing my wife around the town as I remembered it. That was back in the days the mines were at their prime and
Broken Hill wasnt struggling to stay alive.
Will be visiting again next year and will have a different attitude this time and try to appriciate the area for what it is now and not what it was.

.
Sometimes it can be disappointing to visit
places with strong emotional history.
In our mind they usually become better.
In reality they often deteriorate.

Follow dirt road (heading NW slightly off to the side of tar road) do not turn off for 4.6klm
Then turn left
Follow the dirt trail for 1.5klms
Your there! It’s just on your left.
Enjoy
