Covering 25 acres of an original mining site, this living museum immerses students in the bustling life of a goldfields town, complete with shops, hotels, a theatre, schools, factories, and even underground mines. Your itinerary includes educational programs interspersed with street theatre performance, underground mine tours, a gold smelting demonstration, the skilled craftsmanship demonstration at the Wheelwright and Coachbuilder shed, candle making and confectionary making demonstrations, and gold panning in the creek. Optional extras can be included at applicable cost including a ride in a Cobb and Co coach, or candle dipping at the Candle Works. The spectacular sound and light show is an added highlight only available for overnight excursions.
There are many more venues and programs available. Through our enquiry process, we will discuss your excursion focus and required outcomes to tailor a proposal to your needs.
