option dinners

The theme for our weekend gathering is 'rocks, rust, stars & dust', 

as are the themes for our Saturday Night Option Dinners!

The hardest part will be choosing which option to attend!

PLEASE NOTE: NUMBERS ARE LIMITED ON SOME OPTIONS - REGISTER EARLY SO YOU DON'T MISS OUT! 

1. Rock the Frock

If you love the nightlife, Daaahlings do we have a treat for you!! 

Broken Hill's iconic Palace Hotel is renowned as the unofficial home of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Enjoy champagne and canapes as you watch the sun set over the Silver City from the hotel's heritage balcony.   And Daaahlings!!   Did we mention the magnificent architecture?  The murals?  The staircase? Adjust your feather boa and look up!

 

Esther and the Palace team have created a sumptuous menu for your dining pleasure, and your live entertainment for the evening will be the internationally renowned mistress of ceremonies Miss Philmah Bocks, who will take you on a journey of fabulous frocks and spectacular songs.  

 

A naturally gifted and delightful hostess, Miss Bocks is drag at its finest.  Gorgeous, glamorous and shrouded in glitter, she is your ultimate social lubricator.  Glitz, glamour and over-the-top opulence will be the order of the night, as you forget the 'real' world and become one with the world of music song and dance.

2. Rustic Rhythm

‘The principle of true art is not to portray, but to evoke’

 

Tonight we awaken your senses to evoke pleasure in a variety of art forms.

 

Bring art to your palate at the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery.

Chef Summa will prepare a sumptuous feast, presenting artworks buffet style. This gastronomic exhibition includes a full meal served in the main gallery.

 

Complementing your meal, you will be entertained by the dulcet tones and soothing sounds of the Broken Hill Civic Orchestra - art for your ears.

 

Entering the gallery, you will be greeted by the ambience of this delightful heritage award - winning building, where you are invited to stroll through the rooms and feast your eyes on the visual delight that is the Broken Hill Art Collection.

3. Hang out with the Stars

Starry Starry Night ...

There is nothing like the Broken Hill night sky ... and our Outback Astronomy dinner event gives you an opportunity to hang out with the stars.  Join us for canapes and drinks, followed by barbequed meats, gourmet salads and dessert - then sit back and enjoy a sky show that combines mythology and science. 

 

This extraordinary dinner option includes motel pick-up and transfer to the original Royal Flying Doctor Service communications base (best remembered for its visit by Queen Elizabeth ll in 1954). Now known as The Space Base, it is the home of Outback Astronomy, a visitor destination that has rapidly reached world acclaim. 

 

Our sky guide Linda will deliver real-time commentary on the wonders above, as she guides you through a personalised cruise of the Milky Way. All that's required from you is warm clothes and a blanket, as you lay back in your camp chair. Be enchanted by a world of gods, girls and galaxies amidst the panoramic view of an Outback sky.

4. Dust or Bust

Silverton is Broken Hill's cultural satellite!

In its heyday the old mining town boasted a bustling community that included a newspaper, a hospital and even a football team.  

 

These days the settlement is famous for its landscape and backstory. It has been featured in hundreds of movies and commercials - the most famous being Mad Max 2 - and photos and film memorabilia cover the walls of the Silverton Hotel. Needless to say, this Pub is an outback icon.  And, despite a population being less than 60, far from being a 'ghost town' Silverton has inspired a generation of artists and is now a tourism mecca for visitors from all over the world.

 

Enjoy an outback night to remember at the Silverton Pub, where hosts Peter and Patsy have organised a special evening of hearty country fare and entertainment by special guest, Golden Guitar winner Catherine Britt.   An added bonus will be a visit to the celebrated Mundi Mundi Lookout for a panoramic view of the sunset over the plains.
