Pure Gold Experience Tour - Goldfields Mining Centre

Posted by Maddy from New Zealand on26 Sept 2025
Maddy said... Part of the property is self-guided with bits of weather-faded signage, made it a little hard for people to see. Our kids were 5 and 7, so this self guided walk did keep them quite entertained but all kids are different. We then had a guided tour, kicking off with general history of the gold rush period and gold mining in the region, then a brief explanation on the types of rocks to look out for (note: it was tailored to be short and brief because of our kids). Then we had a go at sluicing and gold panning! We were lucky for a day with warm-ish spring weather - because you have to get your hands wet. Overall I’d say there’s rooms for improvement but definitely something different for domestic travelers.
