Allow us to take you on tour, to the world’s second largest single open cut iron ore mine. Discovered in 1957 by
veteran prospector Stan Hilditch, the iron ore deposit was named Whaleback due to its resemblance to the shape of the Humpback Whale. Take the opportunity for photos from the top of the pit and learn about our iconic mine site which produces an astonishing 70mil tonnes of iron ore each year. The two hour tours operate in the busy season (April to September) three days per week and less frequently in summer months. Private Tours can be arranged for large numbers. For scheduled tour dates, departing the Newman Visitor Centre, please click Book Now or email us: nvctech@newman.org.au or ph: 08 91752888 Long sleeves, long pants and closed in shoes are mandatory for you to wear on tour, as are a high vis vest and safety glasses which we provide for you before the tour. We suggest bringing drinking water and hat as you will step off the bus at the viewing area. |
