Information

The Bamboo Creek Tin Mine was last active in the 1950s and is now in ruins. It is a lovely reminder of the Park's varied cultural history. Visiting this site, you can only imagine the hardship and extreme conditions the people who worked and lived here must have endured. There are still some sections of the old building still standing.
