Gold Mine Museum

Take a step back in time at the Mount Misery Gold Mine Museum and find out how gold was once mined and sold in the area. 

Reef gold was first discovered at Nundle in 1852; alluvial gold may have been discovered as early as 1849. Most of the old mines are situated either near the hamlet of Bowling Alley Point, or between Nundle village and Hanging Rock village. The Mount Misery Gold Mine Museum features a 150 meter underground mine tunnel and is packed with mining and gold rush memorabilia. 

The Museum gives you an authentic taste of the life and trials of the pioneers to the gold fields above Nundle. It includes historic gold panning and mining equipment plus newspaper extracts from the gold rush era, which allow you to learn more about the local characters and events occurring in Nundle during the time. 

To complete the gold rush experience, why not hire some gold panning equipment and try to strike it rich in Nundle. Guided tours of the Mount Misery Gold Mine Museum can be arranged for individuals, groups or schools.
