A lot of my family history in here. Great museum jammed packed with all kinds of yesteryear goods and family memorabilia. Really helpful & friendly curator/staff. We saw the stamper battery going. Fascinating to watch how gold was extracted from quartz back in the day. The noise was horrendous and back in the day it went 24hrs a day. During a miner's strike people were unable to sleep because it was sooooooo quiet!

This has an excellent collection of exhibits from the Gold era. We were fortunate to have one of the local guides show us around, share stories, and provide an interactive experience. He even opened the water valves and showed us the working hydro power generation and the stamper. This took the experience to a whole new level.

Fantastic little museum full of fascinating items and the bonus of a tour and information guided by curator John, including seeing the historic stamper battery in operation. Plenty to see even if mining history is not your thing.

Thought the museum was fantastic, but the fact that the caretaker let you in took your money and then decided to close early 40 minutes later. He, closed at midday not at 4:00 in the afternoon which was meant to be the opening hours. Very miffed. He knew he was going to close because he had an electrician coming to his home at midday. He could have said something when we first arrived. The collection is fantastic. Would have loved to have spent a lot more time having...

We were so lucky to arrive as the guided tour began. John ....truly amazing. Not only was he conversant with the exhibits, he also knew so much about the local history and the local people....a seemingly inexhaustible source of information and enthusiasm; and the exhibits themselves were quite extraordinary., especially the working crushing machine. An absolute "Must...
