Earlier today on 8 December 2017 the Australian Governor General Peter Cosgrove gave Royal Assent to the Same Sex Marriage bill after yesterday's historic vote in federal parliament and was passed into law.
So whether you're in Broken Hill or anywhere in Australia, same sex marriage will now be legal.
At midnight (in one minute) the law will take complete effect.
The first marriages can take place in the second week of January 2018 as a couple needs to lodge a notice of intended marriage, a month before the marriage.

Australia's first Heritage Listed City Broken Hill is brilliant in so very many ways says Melbourne Australia's Jane Deany. With fantastic art and galleries, history (Silver mining - BHP) and the fabulous desert colours too .... I just love it as my blog says!

I still love Broken Hill and my blog will continue into it's seventh year
Six years ago today I started www.ilovebrokenhill.com and you know what I still love visiting #BrokenHill and talking about this fabulous outback city.
Stay tuned as the coming year will be a more active one after taking a little time out from my regular blogging.
Cheers,
Jane Deany
