True Crime

Once acknowledged as the fastest-growing city in Australia, Broken Hill first became recognised for its vast deposits of silver, copper, and zinc. With a sudden influx of workers, just in order to make a dollar, its residents sacrificed the compelling struggles of its rigorous landscape, gruelling climate, and poisoned waterways. In effect, these difficulties combined with the convolutions of human relations, throughout history, have equated to some of the most barbaric crimes ever witnessed. Whilst the Hill and its surroundings appear innocent and harmonious to most, those who have delved into its history of crime soon discover a sinister underbelly. Join me, as I explore the captivating Far-West region of New South Wales, and together, we will examine a multitude of hair-raising stories that reveal a rich history of pure terror.
