Beaconsfield and the surrounding area
The Beaconsfield Mine collapse occurred on 25 April 2006 in Beaconsfield, Tasmania, Australia. Of the 17 people who were in the mine at the time, 14 escaped immediately following the collapse, one was killed and the remaining two were found alive using a remote-controlled device. These two miners were rescued on 9 May 2006, two weeks after being trapped nearly a kilometre below the surface. The museum was very good for the price of $10 per person and some of the machinery and waterwheels were hands on and can be used by the public It was a very entertaining morning and well worth a visit
