Come and learn about the history of the Long Tunnel Extended Gold Mine in Walhalla, an original living historic gold mining town.
Explore deep underground and discover what life was like for the miners, and how they extracted over 13 tons of gold from up to 1km underground.
Underground daily tours of this historic site are operated by the Walhalla Board of Management Incorporated on behalf of the people of Victoria. The tour takes visitors 300m into the huge underground machinery chamber hewn from solid rock over a century ago. Old mining methods are discussed and a large outcrop of the famous Cohens Line of Reef can be seen from inside the mine.
Each tour is conducted by a Mine Guide who is familiar with the Mine's history and the history of Walhalla. Tours are informative as well as entertaining.
Tours are limited to 30 people. If there are more people than can be accommodated on one tour, additional tours will be conducted.
The Mine is well lit and ventilated – the tour doesn’t enter confined spaces and the whole tour is conducted on flat walking. The tour is accessible by wheelchair and children’s pushers.
Tours last for 45-50 minutes.
