Adelong Falls Gold Workings, Heritage mining site in New South Wales, Australia

The Adelong Falls Gold Mill Ruins feature stone structures, including ore crushing machines and water wheels along Adelong Creek in a natural setting.

Scottish engineers David Wilson and William Ritchie established the Reefer Battery at this location in 1870, operating gold extraction processes until 1910.

The remaining granite structures and industrial equipment demonstrate the mining methods used during the Australian gold processing period of the nineteenth century.

Visitors can access the site through a two-kilometer walking path from Adelong town, with wheelchair facilities available from the lower parking area.

The processing site contains a preserved reverbatory furnace used to separate mercury from gold during the extraction process.
