Description

Take your family on an unforgettable journey back in time at the State Coal Mine in Wonthaggi.

This unique Gippsland attraction is the only historic coal mine experience in the Southern Hemisphere. Explore the tunnels of this former coal mine, where hard-working miners once drilled and chipped for coal in the 1900s. Take a guided tour led by Parks Victoria staff and volunteers with a personal connection to the mine, including some retired miners. Entry to the site is free, with above-ground attractions still open, although underground tours are currently suspended due to maintenance works.
