Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park
Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park, Victorian gold rush heritage park in Castlemaine, Australia.
The 75 square kilometer park contains a network of mining paths, abandoned settlements, and native Box-Ironbark forests across rolling hills and gullies.
Between 1851 and 1854, this area became the richest shallow alluvial goldfield worldwide, attracting over 40,000 people seeking fortune in Victoria.
The Dja Dja Wurrung People maintain their connection to this land through a Recognition Agreement with Victoria, established in March 2013.
Visitors can access multiple walking trails, picnic facilities with electric barbecues at Vaughan Mineral Springs, and information services at the Castlemaine center.
The park preserves the largest collection of authentic gold rush mining structures in Australia, including house foundations and functional puddling machines.
