Moonta Mines Tourist Railway

Departing from the platform adjacent to the Moonta Mines Museum, the Moonta Mines Tourist Railway is a guided tour of the historic Moonta Mines National Heritage Precinct.

Featuring extensive commentary  passengers are taken past many historic landmarks of the former mining operations, including the reservoir, ore sorting floors, and through a tunnel in Ryan's Tailings Heap. It visits the former Precipitation Works, which was set up in 1900 to recover additional copper from the tailings heaps, a process which continued until 1943.

We have limited availability for online bookings allowing for those who want to travel on the day to have an opportunity.  Book on the day of travel at the Moonta Mines Ticket Office at least half an hour prior to the scheduled departure.  Please note that subject to availability at your time of booking.
