An old gold mining town with a population of approximately 300 people. It’s now made up of a few campgrounds and a couple of pubs but it had a really nice feel to it. 

We climbed up to the lookout where you can see the old pit, as part of the mine remediation the pit was filled with water in 1993 when they diverted Pine Creek. It took 14 months to fill.  During the goldfields main lifespan 1985-1995 they produced 64,000 ounces of gold which was $395 million at 1995 prices. Amazing amount of gold came out of this pit. 

Simon celebrated the end of his partly dry July in the  ‘The Lazy Lizard’ pub (23 days!).
