A VISIT TO MAD MAX WASTELAND

Mad Max Wasteland & Silverton

Mad Max 2 the movie is set in a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland where gasoline and water are scarce commodities. This could almost describe present day Silverton. No petrol stations or fuel is available. Car repair services are unavailable. There are no health services or public transportation. Nor is there a plentiful water supply. Although, there is plenty of town character and visual appeal.

Mad Max 2 movie locations surround Silverton.

Wasteland Compound

Outback Silverton New South Wales. Created by a few dedicated Mad Max 2 movie fans Wasteland Compound is located on private property. Just out of town. Beyond the Silverton Camel Farm where tours are conducted. In total, the week's inhabitants of Wasteland Compound numbered about one hundred. These people were accommodated onsite in their own tents and swags. A few hundred daily attendees were drawn from Broken Hill to attend the free weekend event. Diehard fans arrived early from interstate in themed attire from Brisbane, Sydney, Victoria and Western Australia. Many others intending to travel cancelled travel plans because of the previous weeks record rain. Some stations in the area recorded a daily total of up to 140mm (five and a half inches). Leading up to the event most outback unsealed roads were water affected followed by extreme heat. However, a great time was enjoyed by all those willing to brave the extreme weather. All people were welcome. The young, the old and tourists. Those who attended were able to buy and sell oddments in an exact full-size replica of Barter Town. Event merchandise was also available.

Mad Max 2 40th Anniversary. A free event. A once only opportunity to experience the world of Mad Max 2 in real life. In a safe and fun authentic environment. A unique event enabled by the fans and Silvertown locals.

There are rumours of another 45th anniversary in 2026.
