The site of the Mining Hall of Fame is the site of Kalgoorlie’s first gold mine. You can take two guided mine tours; the first takes you 36 metres underground, the second mine tour takes you 72 metres underground climbing down the original timber-lined mine shaft via the ladders and portals with only a miner’s cap light to guide you. On that tour, you even get to use an air-leg rock drill. Other interesting things to see are a 1920’s gold pouring demonstration and new and old mining equipment and see how miners lived in years gone-by. Rani is holding onto a $70,000 gold bar.
