A combination of self-guided, guided and hands-on activities will give your students a comprehensive experience. You’re the one ticket price covers two days entry to this site, and allows plenty of time to complete many tours and activities at what is one of the most significant convict sites in Australia’s history.
The Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre is an excellent venue for school excursions. The Centre is a ‘time-machine’, where students can explore historic and modern gold mining, industrial and social heritage and the momentous events of the 2006 Mine Rescue through our many interactive exhibits and activities.
A tour of the Heritage Centre reveals themes of geology and precious metals, resource scarcity, mining and industrial technologies past and present, mining culture and language, land and energy use, environment and sustainability, design and engineering and human endeavour.
In the new 3 Dimensional Holographic Mine Experience you choose where you go and what you see. The 3D Mine Experience will allow you to enter a world 1200 metres below the ground. You will be able to travel into the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the Beaconsfield mine, meet miners, discover mining techniques and learn about a working culture that resides within the depths of the earth.
Cradle Mountain forms the northern end of the wild Cradle Mt – Lake St Clair National Park, itself a part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The jagged contours of Cradle Mountain epitomise the feel of a wild landscape, while ancient rainforest and alpine heathlands, buttongrass and stands of colourful deciduous beech provide a range of environments to explore.
Icy streams cascading out of rugged mountains, stands of ancient pines mirrored in the still waters of glacial lakes and a wealth of wildlife ensure there is always something to captivate you. The area is one of the most popular natural areas in Tasmania. A visit will reveal why.
The Visitor Centre at the entrance to the park provides details on walks and other activities in the area. Interpretation displays reveal the many natural wonders of the area. There are a number of excellent walks in the area, including the Dove Lake Loop Track which takes you through the stunning Ballroom Forest, an area of cool temperate rainforest nestled against the slopes of the mountain. Other walks include the Weindorfers Forest walk.
