Enjoy guided tours of the spectacular Port Kembla Steelworks, offering an up close and personal sensory experience of the largest and most dynamic concentration of heavy industry in Australia.

After a quick safety briefing at the Visitor Centre, you will be kitted out in safety gear (PPE) before boarding the tour bus to begin a truly sensory ‘steelmaking’ experience. As the tour bus snakes around the Port Kembla Steelworks site, you will spot everything from monster machinery, giant buildings, locomotives and huge stockpiles of raw materials.

Time to turn up the heat as you climb the stairs to visit the colossal Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) plant and the continuous slab caster to get the best vantage point of steel production – a truly unique and sensory experience.

In the tour’s final stage, visit the Hot Strip Mill, where steel slabs are reheated and rolled into coils in a noisy, action-packed process.
