Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway

Take a ride on Kimberley's Underground Mining Railway through switchbacks, and up steep slopes and sharp curves, as it winds through the narrow valley of Mark Creek.

Enjoy the spectacular views and hear the fascinating history of the 'Great Sullivan Mine' and the community of Kimberley.

The railway links the downtown of Kimberley with the site of the old Sullivan Mine surface facilities and recent mine reclamation activities,
and continues its route shuttling riders to the base of the Kimberley Alpine Resort.

The history of the Sullivan Mine and the importance of mining in general, are preserved in the Sullivan Mine Interpretive Centre. Visitors will have a real underground experience. The train will travel through a 750 metre (2,475 ft) tunnel and visitors will get a feel for what it was like underground at the Sullivan Mine. Rooms off the main tunnel will display mining equipment, including a working jackleg.

The Mining Railway is your connecting link. Come and ride the Railway to see and enjoy all of the attractions. There is something for every member of the family.
