The Daydream Mine

 

On the road to the Daydream Mine.

 

 

An old ore car access tunnel.

Looking out across the bleak landscape.

 

 

Many small mounds of tailings littered the mine site.

Old bularks atop a shaft.

 

 

Looking down the dusty track to the visitor centre and refreshment stand.

 

Geared up to head into the mine.

 

 

Down into the earth.

This really is entering at your own risk.  We had to sign a waiver before we could enter.

 

Descending deep underground.

 

 

 

An abandoned passage.

 

What it is like to descend into a mine.

 

water pipes running down a closed-off passage.

 

 

 

 

The way the mines were lit before electricity.  Just one candle to a person.

 

Hammer and chisel to set charges.

 

 

Back on the surface.

An old winch system.
