Location Description

Broken Hill has a rich filming history that spans over 30 years, having featured in films such as: Wake in Fright, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Mission Impossible II and Mad Max II, just to name a few. The former Central Power Station (CPS) also known as the Broken Hill Studio is situated in South Broken Hill. The CPS closed down in 1986 and contains some impressive and atmospheric buildings. These include two enormous, cathedral-like former power generating stations. The site covers around 2.5 ha and lies adjacent to the iconic Line of Lode.
