Picture of the day
Broken Hill, New South Wales

A panorama of Broken Hill, New South Wales, one of Australia's iconic mining towns, backed by the man-made mullock (waste) heaps from the Line of Lode mine (the mullock heaps are the "hills" that stretch across this image). Over 800 workers lost their lives working this mine.
