Located right alongside the internationally acclaimed Wellington Caves & Phosphate Mine, the Phosphate Mine is a completely restored underground mine. From the moment you put on a hard hat, you enter a new world at one of the State’s most intriguing tourist attractions. The mine not only features the workings of a World War 1 mine, but bone fragments and fossils from 300,000 years ago. Paleontologists from all over the world have been making pilgrimages to this cave since the 1930s and now you can too!
