Australia’s most famous mining town has gone solar. How did that happen?!

Here’s the lowdown from the Broken Hill locals – who are all on board the renewables bandwagon!

And in case you missed it, check out our first Broken Hill video below – featuring Mad Max, Priscilla, and a whole lot of sheep!


Broken Hill is just the start of the renewables revolution in Australia. While our federal government has been slow on the uptake, it’s clear that towns, communities and businesses all over Australia are stepping up to deliver decisive climate action themselves – and leading the way towards a sustainable future.

Help us spread this positive, people-powered message far and wide – and show Australians that the solar revolution is already here, even in a mining town like Broken Hill.
