1. Heritage Blinman Mine
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 237 reviews
The mine "wheal Blinman" was the reason for the establishment of the town. The town is named after shepherd Robert "Pegleg" Blinman who discovered copper on a hill while tending his flock of sheep. Now some 150 years later the mine has breathed new life into the town, drawing people interested in history, mining, minerals and outback life. People come on tour and over the course of a little over an hour step back into time and experience a taste of life in the 1860's, complete with sounds of mining through an innovative sound system. Our visitors leave not only with an appreciation of the lives of the Cornish miners who settled in Blinman but also of the determination and dedication to a small (very small, just 20 people) group of people who saw the opportunity to breathe new life into a town. The tour is suited to all ages, we particularly like taking families and kids on tour. Suitable for groups with prior booking. Bookings recommended at all times.

Other holiday makers suggested this was worth a visit > and they were right!! The tour took about an hour, it was full of history, humour and a great way to spend the afternoon. The community is rightly very proud of the effort they have made to develop this tourist attraction.

Watch the ancient landscape of the Flinders Ranges roll past as you relax in the style of a bygone era. Built in the 1870s, this unique railway is the last remaining operating portion of the "Old Ghan" narrow-gauge line. After being abandoned in the 1950's, the Railway was revived in 1974 by the volunteers of the Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society who have progressively restored a remarkable collection of heritage locomotives and carriages. Trains operate March - November. Visit our website for timetable and bookings.

Not much of an art lover, don't mind some arty stuff (more the missus' domain), but I was impressed. OK, the mineral display was a big positive for me. But the panoramas and other art was quite good. Truly loved looking at it, especially after seeing the real thing and noting how true to life the art was.. Well worth the admission, and a really nice bloke to boot.
