Mine tours

[Apparition]

Just wondering if people would have a list of open mines that are safe or have tourist style tours through them.

I think the Mountain Maid at copeland (Barrington tops) NSW is still open to the public. I did the tour many moons ago. Went all the way in to the face where the vein with gold was exposed. plus a small museum. Cheers.

There are many more.
Some active mines also have open days too but they are usually only advertised local to the mine.
