The Gold Trails experience encompasses mining landscapes such as Ophir near Orange where Australia’s first payable gold was discovered and the historic Hill End near Bathurst which is one of the oldest surviving living cultural heritage sites in Australia.

Reefers Mill in Adelong-Tumut and O’Brien’s Hill at Grenfell are relics of the mining boom days with mines and mining equipment. There are social echoes of the bushrangers in the unique painted murals at Eugowra and a celebration of the Chinese contribution to Australia with the Lambing Flat Chinese Festival in Young.

You will also have the opportunity to fossick for your own golden treasure along the way.
