Historic Day Dream Mine

To experience the life of early miners in and around Broken Hill, visit the Historic Daydream Mine near Silverton. Descend beneath the earth and walk through the same tunnels that Cornish silver miners did in the 1880s. Tours last about 90 minutes and guides offer plenty of details about life in the mines and the harsh conditions miners endured. There is also an above-ground tour which includes a replica miners’ hut. After the tour, enjoy a hot drink and a plate of freshly baked scones at the on-site tearoom. Bookings are essential and sturdy footwear is required. Both underground and surface tours are available.
