Hard Times Mine

Spent 3 hours on this well organized, informative Mine tour, Ian our guide was great and able to answer most questions that was thrown at him. Fantastic insight by the locals who developed this after the closure of the original working mine tours, With over 100,000 visitors this is testament to what they have achieved. Rounded off the tour with a cuppa tea and a Pastie in the crib room Definitely a tour to add to your list while in Mt Isa

This is a unique site to either stay a night or visit. Now a ghost town, the mining pit is unique in its beauty. Do not let looks deceive you..the water is toxic ( not radioactive) and should be avoided. A visit here is a history, geological and geography lesson wrapped up in one.
