Golden Gate Mining and Town Complex, Heritage-listed mining settlement in Croydon, Australia
The Golden Gate complex contains mining structures, cemeteries, and town remnants spread across 8 kilometers northwest of Croydon, adjacent to the Normanton railway line.
Mining operations commenced in 1886, leading to a township formation in 1893 that supported five hotels, four stores, and eight mining companies by 1897.
The site cemetery holds nineteen graves, reflecting the social patterns and living conditions of residents during Queensland's northern gold mining period.
The complex includes multiple mine shafts, a battery, cyanide processing plant, and archaeological remains that document mining practices from 1886 to 1922.
Rogers' No. 1 Golden Gate mine produced 483,000 ounces of gold between 1886 and 1911, making it the most successful reef in the Croydon Goldfield.
