Editing Broken Hill (section)

==Time zone==
Unlike the rest of New South Wales, Broken Hill (and the surrounding region) observes Australian Central Standard Time ([[UTC+9:30]]), the same [[Time in Australia|time zone]] used in nearby [[South Australia]]. This is because at the time the Australian dominions adopted standard time, Broken Hill's only direct rail link was with Adelaide, not [[Sydney]]. Similarly, Broken Hill is regarded as part of South Australia for the purposes of postal parcels rates and telephone charges. Broken Hill also used to be a [[break of gauge]] station where the state railway systems of South Australia and New South Wales met.
