[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 485202, member: 4386"] It was around 2 km deep last I heard (Bendigo once had one of similar depth I think, not quite that deep). It is the Hoover decline (President Hoover of the USA used to be the mine manager there, as at Big Bell and even at Creswick - he caused the Kalgoorlie race riots). I have been down to nearly 4 km in a South African gold mine (Western Deep Levels). It is hot down there, and the floor is as likely to slam you against the ceiling as vice-versa. [/QUOTE]
