Gympie Gold Mining and Historical Museum
Take a couple of hours to explore the Gympie Gold Mining and Historical Museum.
You can learn more about Gympie’s mining past from the rush for alluvial gold, deep reef mining, reprocessing of tailings and the re-opening of the mines in the mid 1980s. With the recent cessation of mining, there still remains the lure of residual gold and there may well be more to come.
