Big Pit

We went down a coal mine called Big Pit. It'sfeet meters down. We went down a cage. We had to wear helmets and battery packs and a mask around our waists. My helmet kept slipping off. It wasn't heavy but the strap had broken so thats why it kept falling off. It was very dark. I thought it was going to be scary. Can I tell you a little secret...there are two wires in the mine and if you hold them together they make a noise and if you turn your lights off in the mine you can see the sparks from the wires. ( the wires were used for signalling where the miners were)
