Today we went on a tour through a copper mine. I had a tag that went around my neck, and when we got to the mine I had to take off the tag and put on a helmet that had a light on it. This was called ‘tag on’ and the miners used to do it to show who was working in the mine.
Afterwards we went for a drive and saw an open cut coal mine at Leigh Creek. We stopped at a dam for a break and then drove back to the campsite.
