Travellers driving past the ABC radio studios in Argent Street will catch sight of his celebration of local identities in his latest public art project, a hommage to the achievers and icons of the Silver City.

The massive art work was installed yesterday, eight years after the ABC’s local manager Andrew Schmidt came up with the idea.

CBH infrastructure commissioning days away

 By Paula Doran

Broken Hill’s newest mine will begin the integral commissioning process of key infrastructure within days. 

Despite a last minute hitch with a water pump, which has delayed the launch of CBH Resource’s Rasp Mine mill by a few days, chief operating officer Visko Sulicich told local media the decade-long journey to commissioning would soon be complete. 

CBH bought the disused lease over the central part of the Line of Lode, (around 3.8 kilometres worth) in 2001.
