School Holidays

School holidays are always a busy time in Burra, with many families coming to town and enjoying the wonderful heritage sites Burra has to offer. This week we've met lots of visitors who have enjoyed the Burra Heritage Trail. A Passport Key is available from the Visitor’s Centre  and it provides a guide book to an 11 km self guided trail around Burra and a key and to 8 locked sites  - the Monster Mine, the Powder Magazine, the Police Lock up, Redruth Gaol, Hampton Village, Smelts Paddock, the Unicorn Brewery Cellars and the Miner’s Dugouts. The key costs  $20 per adult, $15 concession and $5 for National Trust members and locals. Children are free. Once you have the key you can head off on the trail and let yourself in and out of all the heritage sites around the town. For kids the Monster Mine, Redruth Goal and the Brewery Cellars are a must.

Visitors to Gaslight over the next week may be lucky enough to be served by the lovely Rachael (pictured) who is helping us out over the school holidays. Thanks Rachael!
