The Central Deborah Mine closed it's mining operations in 1954. The complete nature of the site encouraged the Bendigo City Council to purchase the site in 1970 in order that it be preserved. In 1971 the Bendigo Trust was formed and under its auspices the surface was opened to tourists in 1971' Extensive work enabled Level 2, underground to be opened to the public. This was followed in 1998 by Underground Level 3 Adventure tours. In 2011 visitors were able to tour as far down as Level 9, 228 meters below ground making it the deepest underground mine tour.Concertina souvenir six photographs of mining at Central Deborah Gold Mine Bendigo Victoria.
