Big Pit National Coal Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

This is a great mining attraction with underground tours that last for about an hour and the best thing is that they are free. Big Pit is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour guides are also ex miners who mined these coal faces and are super funny and friendly. Cafe and toilet facilities on site.
