Can you believe it? I reckon the only reason this place is here is as a tax dodge, because as far as I can make out, they are not running the mine, they don’t do mine tours, and they just take $3 a head from tourists to look at rocks in the museum. They say there is still viable gold in the ground, but they will wait until the old equipment rusts to pieces, before sending it to Melbourne for a company museum, and then open up again. Meantime, they just have the museum as a caretaker.
I think I want that job. We’ve been here nearly 2 hours and there have been about 3 other cars. All very quiet.
Oh, and you get tea, coffee, milo and biscuits for our $6 as well as the free Wifi. Must be sus…
