Take a ride on the Bavarian City Mining Railway through
switchbacks, and up steep slopes and sharp curves, as it winds through the narrow valley
of Mark Creek. Enjoy the spectacular views and hear the fascinating history of a community
in transition.
The railway links
the downtown of Kimberley with the site of the old Sullivan Mine surface facilities
and recent mine reclamation activities, and
continues its route shuttling riders
to the base of the Kimberley Alpine Resort.
The history of the
Sullivan Mine, and the importance of mining in general , are to be preserved in an
Interpretive Centre that is in the initial stages of development. Ultimately (2005), there
will be a dramatic 20,000 sq. ft. modern building constructed to house audio-visual and
interactive exhibits, and visitor services. For now, a number of auxiliary
attractions are in place or are "works in progress".
The Bavarian City
Mining Railway is your connecting link. Come and ride the BCMR and see and enjoy all of
the attractions. There is something for every partner of the family.
