Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We regarded Miners Siding as an extraordinary sculpture sequence by Stephen Walker. It starts with the tableau, 'Miners Sunday', which depicts a miner and his family on the day of rest. The sculpture is bronze and Huon pine and stands central in a circular water basin. A narrow water feature flows from under the elevated platform, downhill to the rear of the sculpture. Small boulders with cast bronze plaques attached tell the story of Queenstown's rich mining history. An Atlas Copco Boomer H121 drilling rig is housed behind the platform, a visual presentation of the machine drilling at the mine site. Miners Siding was opened by the Governor of Tasmania on 15th October 1983.

Nice little tribute to the mining generation of the area. One of the highlights of this little town of which there are not many

Sculptures dedicated to the rich mining history and timeline of the town. Original idea and well delivered. Located in the centre of town - worth taking a look.

If you’re visiting Queenstown it’s worth stopping here to visit, wander around and understand a bit of the mining history of the town. Very well set up and informative.

Just ahead of the Railway, is this fantastic series of sculptures, leading to a large piece of machinery.
Various stories are told on the rocks. just brilliantly done.
