Mary Kathleen Mine
Take a trip just out of town to see the remains of the once-bustling mining community of the region.
While the buildings have been removed, the concrete foundations mean you can walk the streets and imagine what life was like there
100 years ago.
​
Travel a little further to see the huge open-cut mine and vivid turquoise waters below. Great for posting a picture with the caption,
"Wish You Were Here in the Curry"!
