...result is a blue-collar outpost with uncommonly lofty aesthetic values and more than 30 galleries (including the Pro Hart Gallery, housing one of the largest private art collections in the country). Pretty impressive for a population of just 25,000. "It is definitely unusual to find a high cultural respect for the arts in a mining town," says Jacqui Helmsley, manager of Broken Hill City Gallery, "and in a place where people will still look at you if you have a funny haircut...
