Visit the Battery Hill Mining Centre, located in Tennant Creek, 1.5 kilometres from the town centre along Peko Road. The Battery Hill Mining Centre overlooks the town and the surrounding countryside. This is the site of the No. 3 Government gold stamp battery, where you can experience life in Tennant Creek’s 1930’s outback gold rush. Enjoy an underground mine tour and watch the machinery in action. Wander through the two museums, Flies, Fortitude and Freedom - a look at social life on the goldfields during the early years, and the McLaughlin Minerals Collection - a spectacular array of mineral samples from around the world. Pan for your own gold and keep what you find. Centre also includes visitor information on the Barkly region. |
