Closed its doors January 28. FB page says they still have 24/7 fuel.
Yeah,that's a shame.
I would suppose too that Broken Hill now having 2 yes two, 24/7 OTR servos and the Coles Express/Shell currently only closing between 00:00 and 05:00 each day, the need to call into Little Topar become a non issue.
One never knows though, they may reopen in the future.
Kwaka, I didn't realise thatr Broken Hill had the OTR 24 hour servos. I've always made sure I passed through at the right time to use the Coles Express on the corner of the Barrier and Bromide St if heading west.
I just checked Google Maps and saw that the BP on the south east side of town is now the OTR. Perfect for those middle of the night runs down the Silver City Highway :)
Late in replying but yeah, the Coles Express no longer operates late night.
The old BP out the south (cnr Bonanza and Patton Streets) is a full blown OTR.
The other OTR at 1 Blende Street is called Store 24, not as fancy or as modern.
While the OTR convenience of 24hr service is handy, I always try and avoid them. I hate having to queue up while people are buying coffee and junk food takeaways. They never seem to have enough staff to match demand for all the stuff they sell.

Am fairly certain you'll not have that problem here at dark o'clock. :)
Well that's a fair point. :D
