A lot of work and funds have gone into upgrading the mine and its equipment including new audio-visual equipment to store the knowledge and history of Collie mining. Members are asked to attend on Thursday 9th July at 2:00pm along with invited dignitaries to officially hand over the Collie Tourist Mine to the Visitors Centre. Then on the Saturday 11th July between 9:00am and 12:30pm the public are invited to inspect the new work and there will be free tours, sausage sizzle and cool drinks. Members are also asked to attend in club shirts for the Saturday.
