Highlights

The Museum of the Goldfields showcases the rich history of the Eastern Goldfields and the city’s mining heritage.

Explore the largest display of the State’s collection of gold bars and nuggets, step back in time to see how prospectors searched for this precious metal, and learn about the life and hardships faced by mining families during the early 1900s.
