Powder Magazine

Agri, Mining and Industry

The Powder Magazine is the oldest remaining mine building in Australia.

Built in 1847 it stored gunpowder used in blasting at the Burra Burra mine.

The building has an arched stone roof for strength and was lined with sheepskin for safety. The National Trust restored it in 1976.

Admission to Powder Magazine is included in the Burra Heritage Passport, available from the Burra Goyder Visitor Information Centre, 2 Market Square, Burra. Access is available with your Passport key during daylight hours as part of the Burra Heritage Passport.
