  • You could be forgiven for thinking this museum is dedicated to the mine rescue of 2006, but it is so much more than that. It offers an excellent insight into both the early and modern life of miners.....  more

  • Not your boring museum or exhibition. Very interactive for children and can get lost in all the amazing history. The kids really enjoyed panning for gold. I loved the gift shop.
  • Amazing story of survival amidst tragedy. Appreciate the history and sombre experience but well worth the visit. Pay my respects to the minors, their contribution to making Australian great and their risk and sacrifice in doing so.
