Historic Machinery Display
This is a comprehensive and growing display of examples of machinery used by Andamooka miners. Each opal field is unique and so are the machines, modifications and innovations used to mine them. You will be intrigued by the engineering brilliance of early miners to convert all styles of bits and pieces of machinery into effective working machines. The Exhibit also boasts what is arguably the oldest Ingerson Rand compressor on public display.
Where: Opal Creek Blvd adjacent to the Caravan & Camping Ground.
