July 2025 Meanderings and Mishaps Pt 29 - Sullivan Underground Mine Powerhouse.
The final stop on our train tour was at the mine's powerhouse. Christian, our young host there, began our tour by telling us he had come to Kimberley on a ski trip and never left because he liked the area so much...I can see why. The majority of the space in the massive building was taken up by the various compressors that supplied power to the mine and trains and I forget what else. Those compressors were huge, especially when I think of the small one we have at home that is used to fill our vehicle tires with air when needed.

July 2025 Meanderings and Mishaps Pt 28 - Sullivan Underground Mine Train Tour.
An informative 2 hour train ride, with a 45 minute stop underground to learn more about underground mining. NOTE: Anyone who struggles with claustrophobia would likely find the underground visit highly disturbing.

July 2025 Meanderings and Mishaps Pt 27 - Sullivan Underground Mine Buildings.
The main building also has a bit of a museum downstairs with mining core samples, rock displays and information about Sullivan Mines. If you get to the Kimberley, BC area, this place is for sure worth checking out!

July 2025 Meanderings and Mishaps Pt 26 - Fort Steele Heritage Town Flora and Fauna.
The flowers, gardens and animals there.

July 2025 Mishaps and Meanderings Pt 25 - Fort Steele Heritage Town Museum.
The museum has 2 floors of displays, although the majority are on the upper floor. Lots of historical information, photos and concrete pieces of life from way back when.
