Kevin "Bushy" White

Bushy White was born in Broken Hill in 1943 and spent 26 years working on the local mines, experiencing mining, comradeship with mates and being surrounded by the magnificent minerals that are found only under the "Hill".
Bushy uses these unique minerals to create artworks by crushing them up and applying them to a board using several types of glue. His subject is local history: beautiful buildings; 72 pubs; churches and the mines. Using and obtaining these minerals became a real challenge - even today you are not allowed to bring mineral samples up from underground.

In 1987 Bushy was given some mine timber and used this to build White's Mineral Art and Living Mining Museum in Broken Hill. A visit to the museum will take one on an illustrated journey through the architectural and mining history of the city. Bushy's mineral paintings are complimented with many rare mining artefacts, underground memorabilia and models of mine sites.

White's Mineral Art and Living Mining Museum
Nominal entry fee (concessions for families)
Open daily 9am-5pm

Enjoyment for all family.

About Bells Milk Bar & Museum

Bells Milk Bar is an in tact 1950's milk bar in South Broken Hill (thanks to Les and Mavis Bell's 1956 renovation). It is famous for its quirky decor and the old fashioned milkshakes and soda spiders served here, as well as the new milk bar museum and an ever increasing range of 'out of this world' snacks and treats, gift items and old style lollies including new home made traditional fudge.

During Broken Hill's mining hey days of the 1950s and 1960s Bells was regularly packed out and people were known to line up halfway down the street on a Sunday afternoon for a cool drink.

Despite the huge demand for the Bells drinks over the years, they have only recently been bottled for retail sale.

Apart from their good old fashioned quality, many of these flavours are simply not available anywhere else! For your best 'taste' of Broken Hill and Outback NSW history, try some Bells Syrups and Cordials today!

Some of the other discoveries at Bells include:

Milk Bar Museum

Nostalgia Gift Shop

Hand Made Traditional Fudge

Fresh Baked Waffles Ice Cream and Syrup

Other Traditional Desserts and Treats Free Wireless Internet (You'll need your own Laptop)

Customer Toilet and Baby Change Facilities
