The Hard Times Mine is a unique underground mining experience in a mine built and operated by real miners that provides a rare opportunity to get up close and experience first hand the daily life and workings of an underground mine. From the moment you kit-out in your safety gear and descend in to the mine, to the moment you feel the earth tremble with the face-firing, you are engrossed and captivated by the history, the stories and the machinery. Try your hand at the Air Leg drill, hear the roar of the Mucking Units and see first hand the ingenuity and skill of the legendaryMountIsaminers.

The Riversleigh Fossil Centre educates and interprets the fossils extracted from the nearby World-heritage Riversleigh fossil fields. These finds have been depicted as dioramas and exhibited in an authentic setting to illustrate the unique discoveries in one of the world's richest fossil fields. Unlike many other fossil deposits, the Riversleigh fossils are not just a snapshot in time, but a window on the development of early mammal megafauna over the past 30 million years. Join the Palaeontologist for a tour of the laboratory and see how the fossilised remains are extracted from the Riversleigh limestone.
