Eldorado Historic Walk

The Eldorado Historic Sites Walk offers a fascinating journey through the rich history of Eldorado, covering 31 significant mining and commercial sites from the 1850s to the 1950s.

As a self-guided tour, it allows visitors to explore at their own pace, immersing themselves in the stories and landmarks that shaped the town.

Whether you’re a history buff, a fan of old mining towns, or just enjoy a good walk with educational stops, the Eldorado Historic Sites Walk is a compelling way to explore and understand the area’s past.

Gold panning or fossicking along the creek is a very popular and successful hobby and it’s a great way to experience the ‘Gold Rush’ of this once bustling mining area. For gold panning, a miner’s right is needed and can be purchased online at the website.

Eldorado is the one place in the whole of Australia where you will have a virtual guarantee to find gemstones and crystals along the whole expanse of Reedy Creek, the richest of all Australian Creeks. You can still find Smoky Quartz, Agates, Amethysts, Topaz, Citrine, Rock Crystal, Motion, Jasper, Corundum, Lydionite, Quartzites, Saphires, Zircon, Rubies, Tourmaline, Garnets, Diamonds, Alluvial Gold and Petrified Wood.

Pack a picnic lunch and spend a relaxing, peaceful day on the banks of the creek. A fun activity for all the family.
