Discover the State Coal Mine in Wonthaggi, the only historic coal mine experience in the Southern Hemisphere. Operating from 1909 to 1968, it produced nearly 17 million tonnes of coal for Victoria's industries and railways. Explore the Visitor Centre, watch a short film on the mine's history, and follow the aboveground heritage trail. Visit the old miner's cottage, museum, and meet the resident canaries and pit-ponies. Reflect on the mine's history in the undermanager's office and enjoy panoramic views from the winder house. Guided underground tours are available, offering a glimpse into the lives of past miners. The café provides refreshments, and a picnic area with a Fairy Garden is perfect for families. Most aboveground attractions are wheelchair accessible, and dogs on leashes are welcome in outdoor areas.
