1. Heritage Blinman Mine
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 237 reviews
The mine "wheal Blinman" was the reason for the establishment of the town. The town is named after shepherd Robert "Pegleg" Blinman who discovered copper on a hill while tending his flock of sheep. Now some 150 years later the mine has breathed new life into the town, drawing people interested in history, mining, minerals and outback life. People come on tour and over the course of a little over an hour step back into time and experience a taste of life in the 1860's, complete with sounds of mining through an innovative sound system. Our visitors leave not only with an appreciation of the lives of the Cornish miners who settled in Blinman but also of the determination and dedication to a small (very small, just 20 people) group of people who saw the opportunity to breathe new life into a town. The tour is suited to all ages, we particularly like taking families and kids on tour. Suitable for groups with prior booking. Bookings recommended at all times.

Other holiday makers suggested this was worth a visit > and they were right!! The tour took about an hour, it was full of history, humour and a great way to spend the afternoon. The community is rightly very proud of the effort they have made to develop this tourist attraction.

Kristian Coulthard and his wife Gabby have newly established Wadnayura a few kms west of Blinman on the Parachilna Gorge Road. Kristian, an Adnyamathanha man is well versed, no; extremely well versed in the culture and language of the Adnyamathanha people of the Flinders Ranges. Wadnayura features his own work, which is excellent, it also offers the opportunity to undertake cultural tours within the area. Kristian and Gabby are a highly professional, effervescent, outgoing couple and their facility is well worth a visit.
