Although Silverton is referred to as a ghost town, there's still a small population of 50 that remains. It was once a silver-ore-mining centre with up to 3000 residents but the end of the 19th century saw the high-grade ore around Silverton decrease and the discovery of an even richer silver-lead-zinc ore body in nearby Broken Hill which led to many of Silverton's residents abandoning the town. Today the old Silverton Hotel and Silverton Gaol still remain but the other original buildings have vanished or lie in ruins. It's also a top film location in Australia for its colonial buildings and scenic desert surroundings. There is a Mad Max 2 museum there, the film was filmed there, will add more details later :)
