ilovebrokenhill fourth anniversary images of #BrokenHill

Four years today since I began www.ilovebrokenhill.com

Three hundred and fourteen posts later and I still love Broken Hill. Here are some visual reasons why I love Australia's first National Heritage Listed City. 

I hope the images whet your appetite to visit this fascinating and historic mining city where BHP was founded.

There's always an event on in #BrokenHill.

Make sure you book more than one night!

I always have a wonderful and memorable trip every time I visit.

These photos are just a glimpse of what's on offer.

Enjoy!

I love Broken Hill

I think everyone knows I love Broken Hill.

Today's post will be my 290th article and I have a really simple message to share.

I am often asked do I get paid or receive money directly from this blog and the answer is no.

One day I might receive recompense in a monetary form, but I haven't really tried to make money directly from www.ilovebrokenhill.com.

The Palace Hotel Broken Hill has accommodated me briefly in the past, thanks again Esther La Rovere (I wrote a blog post on 24 September 2013 about my stay to thank The Palace Hotel team), and Outback Astronomy treated me as their guest for a wonderful night sky viewing late last year, thanks Linda and Travis Nadge. Linda wrote a blog post for www.ilovebrokenhill.com on 28 May 2014, as my first (and so far only) guest blogger on she and her husband's new astronomy tourism business. It was a great night.

So to answer the money making query another way is, as my blog revolves around loving something, namely Broken Hill, and a true demonstration of loving anything, as you may know, is about giving without expecting anything in return, therefore, I don't expect to make money from something I love!

Mind you, there's a saying - "do something you love and the money will follow" - but that's another story for another day ;-)

Cheers, Jane Deany

Interview
I recently interviewed my friend Peter Mrkusich about his memory of his trip to Broken Hill which he made with his wife Pauline and myself in September 2009.

The interview is now available via my new YouTube channel which is called ilovebrokenhillcom .  Access to my YouTube channel is available via the right hand side bar where the reference to ilovebrokenhillcom YouTube channel is.  You can also find the recording here.

I hope you enjoy it.  It is my first ever filmed interview ... see what you think.

By the way, in case you missed my other post about that same trip of Peter's to Broken Hill you can find a link to it here.
