There's less than four weeks to go to Broken Hill's 'flagship' annual event, the 49th running of the St Patrick's Day Races.
This year - 2014 - the event will be held on Saturday 15 March. There will be a 'recovery day' the day after in Silverton. Broken Hill locals loves to be social and the weeks leading up to the races will see a range of events. Details to come.
Links to some of the relevant information about the races are below -
Main race results can be found on my later post - see link here.

It's a great time of the year to be in the city. I went up with a friend in 2012 and we had a fantastic time.
If you've never been to this event it's great fun. It makes for a wonderful excuse to tie in a visit to the city, especially if you've never visited Broken Hill before.
I really can't recommend it highly enough.
Don't forget to bring something green to wear, although we found not as many people actually wore green as we had expected.
Cheers, Jane Deany
