Geocache Description:

During its 97 years of operation, the Victoria Hill mine yielded about $8bn worth of gold in today’s values and was the deepest mine in the world at 4,613 feet. The mine appeared on Australia’s first pound note printed in 1913.

View 150 year old Coath Cottage nearby which was almost destroyed in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires and has since undergone restoration.

Climb the poppet head tower for magnificent views of Bendigo and wander through the reserve where you’ll find several historical and natural landmarks as well as old mining relics from the golden days.

Car parking is available directly out front of Victoria Hill.

Enter via front gate (closed at 6:30pm) .

Take steps up to an intersection and follow the right path.

Head towards perhaps one of the most well preserved quartz crushing battery in the Victorian Goldfields. 

Please take care of all mining remains and bushland. 

You are looking for a reasonably sized plastic container with a little something for everyone inside.

Enyoy - your comments will be welcomed.
