Australian Prospectors and Miners Hall of Fame

The Australian Prospectors and Miners Hall of Fame provides visitors with an unique experience that combines an historic gold mine and heritage precinct with interactive galleries, a changing display of art works and specifically designed gardens. It includes displays on prospectors, mineral discoveries and the government's role in mining alongside the latest technological developments. On the heritage site visitors can tour the 1893 underground mine, watch a gold pour demonstration or try their luck at panning for gold. The seven hectare site displays a diverse collection of mining memorabilia including historic headframes and numerous heritage buildings.
