Miners Heritage

Miners Heritage is on the site of a sapphire mine that started in 1906, it was developed as a Tourist Mine in 1984. You can take an underground sapphire mine tour & go down 15 meters underground to discover the amazing world of sapphires. Fully guided tour takes approx 45 minutes of 440 meters of tunnels. Learn how sapphires are formed in nature, view a video of our mining process & learn some of the history to this amazing area. Want to find your own piece of Sapphire, buy a bucket of wash & we can show you how in our fossicking park, the "Wash" comes from our families' working mines & all equipment is provided. Minimum of 2 people are required for the tour. We also have a CAFE on site. The Miners Cafe. We also have overnight camping/caravan stays for self-contained people. We do not supply anything for stays.
