What Makes Us Special
Local Expert Guides
Every tour is led by passionate community members. When you visit, you're supporting a remote outback community to preserve their heritage.
Your tour fee helps maintain the mine, fund community projects, and ensures future generations can experience this remarkable piece of Australian history.
One of a Kind Experience
This isn't a recreation, it's the real Blinman Copper Mine. Operational from 1862-1907, our underground tunnels, shafts, and chambers tell an unvarnished story of life in outback SA. The Blinman Mine is the single best remaining example of underground Cornish mining technique in Australia.
Touch the walls that yielded 10,000 tonnes of copper. Experience authentic mining heritage preserved by the community that refuses to let their story fade.
Cutting-Edge Storytelling
Feel the atmosphere shift as you descend into the belly of South Australia's mining heritage. It's an immersive experience you won't find anywhere else.
Our award-winning sound and light system brings the past to life. Hear miners' voices echo through tunnels. Watch light boxes illuminate the dangerous work they faced.
