Informative tour of gold mine. Great presentation by Nathan. Terrific for children and adults alike. Learn about the mining of gold and go underground into the mine. Very safe tour, plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Learn about drilling, the history of the mine and how to tell the difference between Gold and Fools gold.

What a fantastic experience. Was made better by this MVP Elf helping out this little elf in training. Isla demonstrated patience, compassion and all the greatest attributes a mentor elf can express when one is not having the best moment thankyou for turning around her day.

Too many thing to do there. The gold panning shed was extremely popular. The underground tour was great with a lot on display including old fashioned drills and out tour guide baz was extreme skilful and helpful through the tour. They let us in the next day too as we entered quite late.

I had a great tour of the mine. Nathan our tour leader was simply superb. Not only interesting and informative, he ensured that we all left with a greater appreciation of the hardships the miners endured in doing their job and threw in some valuable life lessons in as well!

I don't often write reviews but I just have to say how fantastic our tour guide Baz was! He was so enthusiastic and our small son Alex was being a bit of a ratbag trying to take his helmet off. Baz kept him interested in what was going on and made sure he was a part of the fun so he didn't loose interest..he was absolutely awesome. I would highly recommend this tour.! It was fabulous 👌 And couldn't fault Baz. Thanks for a wonderful experience! 😃 My 4 boys raved about it for the rest of the day. !!!

My husband, kids (12 & 10) and I all loved the underground tour and exploring the above ground site. Booking online was easy. The check in process was seamless. Baz, our tour guide, was amazing. His knowledge was exceptional and his enthusiasm was contagious. Baz's delivery and attention on everyone in the group made us feel like we were the only tour he was doing that week. Given it was towards the end of the Easter holidays I'm sure Baz was exhausted, but it didn't show at all.

Excellent! The above ground displays are great and all original as this is the actual mine site. You can even pan for gold. We also did the underground tour ... BRILLIANT! this was so cool and goes for about an hour. You go 61m underground (a bit chilly at 14oC) and walk on one of the levels of the old mine. You get to see the old cages and the ladder for the miners to enter the mine, drills (with an actual demonstration), a simulated explosion blast, and gold in a quartz seam. Our tour guide was great and was very knowledgeable, so much information and history. Very well priced and you would need a good 2 hours to do the underground tour and have a good look topside.

First up this place is dog friendly which was great! We spent ages here looking at above ground gold mine. You can pan for gold which was a bit of fun. Amenities are good and staff were very helpful and friendly. There is a miniature of the mine which had working parts. There is so much to see. We really enjoyed the whole place and also purchased some souvenirs and a nice piece of jewellery.

This was an interesting tour deep underground in a gold where an excellent guide named Baz showed us the old methods of gold mining and the later methods. Very interesting and informative tour. There was also all the buildings and equipment above ground used to run a mine and keep it safe and clear of water, that we were able to visit too.

Nat gave an exceptional tour of the mine and was deeply knowledgeable of its history. I sincerely appreciated the passion he put into telling our group a story instead of simply giving us the tour. He shared family accounts and the vivid history of the mine down to the most minute, but fascinating details. Nat’s passion made for a fantastic tribute to Bendigo’s history and the importance of mining (and miners) to Australia. A MUST SEE while in Bendigo!
