Westonia
The Edna May Gold Mine is located two kilometres north of the township of Westonia. It reopened in 2010 and has the capacity to process 3 million tonnes of gold-bearing ore per year. The mine is forecast to produce around 80,000 ounces of gold in 2017. Evolution Mining have commenced an investigation to determine whether an underground mining operation would be viable.
The Edna May Gold Mine Lookout is open to the public. It is located off Warrachuppin Road and provides great views of an operating open pit gold mine.
In the Westonia townsite the Hood-Penn Museum in the Old Club Hotel building features a variety of scenes representing what life was like in the Shire in the early twentieth century, including a vibrating mine tunnel which visitors can go into to experience authentic sounds, and vibrations that simulate blasts going off in the mine.
