Bamboo Creek Tin Mine

A tale of hardship and struggle - pioneering this country was no easy feat.

overview

Road Access:  Sealed road.
Difficulty:  Grade 1 Easy.  A short walk from the carpark.

Can you imagine working in these conditions? Or the trek to town, with no real roads, to sell your meagre findings?  This is the ruins of a short-lived small tin mine.  Tin was mined at the site sporadically from 1906 until it was abandoned in 1955.
