Galena Street, Broken Hill, New South Wales / ACT.

Description

This lookout provides an excellent panoramic view of the southern part of the line of lode, particularly the old Zinc and NBHC mines and the current Perilya operation. This hill is so named because it was the site of the Block 10 Mine's concentration mill which was erected in 1903 and connected to the mine by an aerial ropeway. Evidence of the mill, which operated until 1923, still survives. The hill is also the location of four reservoirs which contribute to the water supply system. Block 10 Lookout is at the end of Galena Street. No camping or overnight parking.
