Broken Hill is a major mining town in the far west of New South Wales. It was the birthplace of the world's second biggest mining company BHP (Broken Hill Propriety).

Hi Ian

The style of these workers cottages looks English. A superb quartet with good colour, sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hello Ian,
Learnt something new, that the BHP corp. which I know for several decades actually named by this town, which established long ago.
Nicely combined the four photos, each of the houses has its own characteristic's.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Ian,
It was only the lower left cottage that without doubt seemed occupied to me. I had my doubts about both those at the top. They all look nice, or once did, and they are neatly presented.
Best regards,
Gert
