The Crib Port Hard Times Mine Tour is more than a tour - it's an experience!

From the very beginning of the tour you know that this is something special. From the moment you meet your tour guide who has worked as a miner for most of their life, to the kitting-out in PPE and cap lamps, already you're having fun and can't wait for what comes next.

Descending into the mine in the Alimak Cage, you begin to explore the history of mining as the guides enthrall you with their stories of the good times and the hard times that they had working deep under the earth. See how the tunnels are formed and shaped by the majestic boom drills and mucking units. Get up close with the machinery and try your hand at the air-leg drill and feel the earth rumble with the firing of the blast face. These magnificent experiences will stay with you forever.

Along with the stories and machinery, you will decend further into the mine and visit the miners crib room, where you will be served tea or coffee with crib port lunches served in an authentic crib port lunch box just like the miners used to take underground.

Plus! Don't forget to bring along your cameras to capture every moment throughout your tour.
