Meet the English couple who moved to an outback town of 50 to open Australia's only Mad Max museum: 'We're living the dream'
Meet the English couple who moved to an outback town of 50 to open Australia's only Mad Max museum: 'We're living the dream'
It might have a population of just 50 people, but Adrian Bennett made his dream come true by leaving Bradford, England, in the dusty little town of Silverton in the outback of New South Wales.
The reason Adrian moved his wife and her three children halfway around the world to a rural village on the NSW/SA border? Because he's a super Mad Max fan and wanted to build a museum in the rural area where the second movie, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, was filmed.
The English family moved to the country in 2006, and although they always intended to open the museum, Silverton became their home four years later when the Mad Max Museum 2 was eventually erected.
Despite its small population, the town has a stretch of road with several galleries, including the John Dynon Gallery and, of course, Adrian and Linda's Mad Max Museum.
The wacky little building is instantly recognizable as a museum dedicated to George Miller's post-apocalyptic film. 
It's a must-have for all movie buffs, as it's filled with a great collection of stills from the film, character costumes, and an impressive collection of vehicles originals and replicas from the film - including two interceptors.
