The Fatal Drive
Trapped - the New Australasian No.2 Mine Distaster
The 22 men who lost their lives in the flooding of this mine in December 1882 serves as a solemn reminder of the dangers deep lead miners faced everyday. This mine site serves as a memorial to the 27 miners who were trapped and also commemorates the heroic efforts undertaken to rescue the miners.
