Beaconsfield how long

The iconic headframe and the historic brick facades of the Tasmania Mine are clues to a long, rich and dramatic history of gold mining on this site and deep beneath the township of Beaconsfield. Catering for groups of 10 or more, Heritage Centre volunteers and staff conduct guided tours that explore and bring to life the extraordinary worlds of past and present gold mining, ambitious engineering feats, industrial and social heritage and the momentous events of the Anzac Day Rock-fall and Mine Rescue.

Our tours appeal to all age groups and interests. Approximately 1. Groups can also visit the Heritage Centre in a self-guided format.

For the next eight days the long pipe was their connection to the outside world. Rescue attempts were hampered by fears of further rock falls, and rock five times harder than concrete made the rescue timeline unpredictable.
