Faye's Underground Display Home
Many of the early dugout homes were simply worked-out mines, but these days they’re usually specifically excavated residences. If you want to see one, Faye’s Underground Display Home was hand dug by three women in the 1960s. It’s a little chintzy, but the living-room swimming pool is a winner! Even when it’s a stinker outside, subterranean temperatures never rise above 23°C, and air-conditioning isn’t necessary.

Old Timers Mine
The brilliant Old Timers Mine was mined in 1916 but was then hidden by the miners. The mine was rediscovered when a dugout home punched through into the labyrinth of tunnels, which now make a great tour. There’s also a museum, a re-created 1920s underground home and free mining equipment demos daily (9.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm).
