Broken Hill & Line of Lode Mine

 * Reason:What blew me away when I went to Broken Hill was that the town was built around, but not on, these enormous denuded hills. When I looked into it I found out that the 'hills' were actually the mullock heap (waste heap) from the century plus of mining operations, and the town has simply formed around it. I reckon this image does a pretty good job of capturing the feel of the place and showing the scale of the mining operations.

 * Support - I like the flock of white birds in flight. Also, further proof that mining is a terrible thing.  S a u d a d e 7  04:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not to get too off-topic, but without any form of mining, we'd all be living in the stone age... ;-) Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 07:52, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
