We had a look at the open cut mine in Greenbushes and I took a couple of photos to put up on here.

It's not a bad size, a lot bigger than you think by looking at these photos. All I was thinking about when looking out was... I bet the grand-kids would LOVE this, it would be a 'wow' moment for them :)

This is a typical miners hut, there's not much in there just enough for a bed and a pot, there is a small fire in there just big enough to keep them warm and that's it!! Talk about basic!

This was there too, I assume to lower a basket in and out of a hole, or even for the water supply. Looks like a two man/woman job!
