New this summer, historic Dudley's Cottage is a great venue for families. In the sunny, spacious garden there is a long goldpanning trough where children love to experience panning for gold, just like in the old days! Our friendly staff will show you and the kids what to do and then ... go for gold! Pay dirt is guaranteed and you even get to take away your own gold. Littlies as young as three or four just love this and if you have a group or birthday party, we'll organise some fun, gold-themed activities! Gold pans are also available for hire or purchase if you want to extend your search to the nearby shallows of the Arrow River. Cafe on site serving sandwiches, toasties and yummy slices as well as coffees, juices and ice cream.
