Beaconsfield Mine Tour



Came back to the mine this morning to do the self-guided tour of the old mine site & story of the mine rescue in 2006
 
 


These scarves were knitted by the townsfolk & people from all over the world

When joined together they were as long as the tunnel & depth where the men were trapped
