Broken Hill to Adelaide road trip: Distance, drive time & attractions

Broken Hill to Adelaide drive: Clare Valley or Burra?

After Peterborough, the Broken Hill to Adelaide road trip route runs east of the Clare Valley wine region. In all honesty, you’re better off extending the drive somewhat and tasting some Rieslings. Otherwise, you keep going south until you reach Burra – perhaps the most interesting stop on the Broken Hill to Adelaide road trip.

Things to do in Burra, South Australia, include exploring the Monster Mine – a massive open cut copper mine. You can also get a grim taste of what prison used to be like at Redruth Gaol, or go stargazing in the Red Banks Conservation Park.
