Abandoned gold mining village best visited with a guided 4x4 tour. The road conditions are apparently scary!

The main attraction here is the tour of the old mining area, full of unique artifacts, as well as the spectacular scenery found near which include a steep-sided gorge that can be traversed on foot or by four-wheel drive vehicles and numerous creeks its river crosses. Not to be missed is the restored Needham's House (the old schoolmaster's house) and the bakehouse. This unique site offers something for all ages, with its rich cultural heritage sure to delight!
