Insightful Tour of the Gold Mining Processes

Sue_D, Sep 2025

Over the hour tour there was not too much walking so good for all abilities. Guide extremely knowlegeable and the hologram experiences kept the information flow interesting. Very informative about the gold discovery and subsequent mining and processes.

This a a terrific local tour in Chaters Towers. A great informative step back in time to the history of the town's beginnings. Tour guide John did an amazing job, with humour and wide knowledge of the workings of the old gold battery.
