Peak Hill Gold Mine

The Peak Hill Gold Mine is a historic gold mine that operated between 1893 and 1917, producing about 60,000 ounces of gold from 500,000 tonnes of rock. The mine was re-developed in 2002 as a tourist mine and features walking trails, viewing platforms, and preserved historic workings. Visitors can explore the mine and learn about its history and mining techniques. The mine is suitable for families, with easy access to the main viewing platform and a pleasant, flat return walk along the 'low wall' of the main open cut, offering spectacular views. Guided tours are available for groups, providing a greater understanding of the mine's history and methods used
