What an experience as I had never been under ground before I was a bit weary but it was great,what the old time miners went through is unbelievable , the staff were excellent and answered all questions,

I am claustrophobic so was less than keen to go on a tour of the mine. I am so glad I decided to go. The surface tour was extremely interesting and I learnt so much. The tour within the mine was fantastic. You won't find "pretty" stalagmites but you will see many relics and you'll be able to ubderstand some if the hardships faced by the miners. The mine didn't feel cramped and although some sections were steep, hand rails are there to help. The staff were very friendly and answered every single question that others on the tour threw at them.

Note: Make sure you check the website for tour times. You can book at the Broken Hills Visitor Centre or turn up just before a tour. Also make sure to wear sturdy, enclosed shoes.
