点评:We went to the very well credentialed and commented on West Coast Heritage Centre, in the main street - Main Street. It was very good, although the main building, which spans two floors, is largely about rocks, how to get them and what sometimes happens to those who go underground. There was a dated video display which was never the less very effective, about the great mining disaster at Queenstown's Mount Lyell mine. In 1912, a fire broke out deep underground, trapping 92 men. Over five days and by a convoluted and difficult pathway, 50 were rescued. Rescue teams came by ship and rail to affect the rescue, breaking all sorts of travel records. When it was clear there would be no more survivors, the mine was flooded to extinguish the fire. It would take six months to retrieve the bodies of the dead and hold their funerals.
The centre is joined to four other adjacent buildings by boardwalks, all who have played roles in Zeehan's past. Of these, I found the Gaiety Theatre fascinating, with its wooden floors and one level seating and its dress circle above. The high stage - as was the practice - once saw Dame Nellie Melba perform. Original posters are in the foyer. The other to intrigue me was the Freemason's Lodge, where a commentary described the layout of the furniture and practices of the Freemasons. It was a pretty blatant defence of their secrecy and denied any political or religious biases, which I found a little ludicrous but interesting.
翻译:我们去了主要街道 - 主要街道上的西海岸遗产中心,并对其进行了非常有资格的评论。这非常好,虽然主楼横跨两层,主要是关于岩石、如何获得它们以及那些进入地下的人有时会发生什么。有一个过时的视频显示,但效果却丝毫不减,内容是关于皇后镇莱尔山矿山的巨大矿难。 1912 年,地下深处发生火灾,92 人被困。在五天的时间里,通过一条曲折而艰难的道路,有 50 人获救。救援队乘船和铁路前来影响救援,打破了各种旅行记录。当很明显没有更多的幸存者时,矿井被淹没了大火。找回死者的尸体并举行葬礼需要六个月的时间。
该中心通过木板路与其他四栋相邻的建筑物相连,所有这些建筑物都在 Zeehan 的过去扮演过角色。其中,我发现 Gaiety Theatre 令人着迷,它铺有木地板,设有一层座位,上面还有礼服圈。高舞台 - 就像练习一样 - 曾经看到 Dame Nellie Melba 表演。原始海报在门厅。另一个引起我兴趣的是共济会,那里的评论描述了共济会的家具布局和实践。这是对他们保密性的非常公然的辩护,并否认有任何政治或宗教偏见,我觉得这有点可笑但很有趣。
