““This centre provides a very comprehensive display of mining, and old time artifacts. You enter a museum first, and then onto special walkways which go through mining sites which still have the machinery in place. The displays and information is very interesting. The museum houses a cross section of mining and social history. They also have a very comprehensive souvenir and gift shop. A very well done site.””
