When is The Best Time to Visit Broken Hill?

The busiest time to visit Broken Hill is in summer. From December to February, the city sees a spike in tourism as Australian schools break up for the festive holidays. You'll need to book your accommodation and flights well in advance to avoid prices skyrocketing.

If you want to escape the crowds, plan your trip for October. This is the quietest time of year in Broken Hill, and you'll have the city's top attractions all to yourself. Hotel rates and flight prices will also be at their lowest, making it an excellent choice for budget travellers.

Another affordable season is Broken Hill's winter months. As the temperatures drop, the city empties out, and hotels lower their prices to make up for the slump in tourism.
