| MINE TOURS | |||
| A combined Town and Mine tour is available and departs daily from the Camping Grounds. The tour takes approximately 2 hours and gives an in-depth look at one of the largest bauxite mines in the world. |
 |
||
|
The tour costs $30.00 per adult and $12.00 per child less than 16 years
of age. Due to safety concerns, and because it is a regulation to use
seat belts when fitted, children under 5 are not permitted. All patrons
must remain seated; children are not to be placed on laps. Rio Tinto has
asked that no video recordings are to be taken, however you are more
than welcome to take photos. |
