A
Ay Ot Lookout
You'll need the free cuppa to recover from the caretaker's ghost stories at Ay Ot Lookout . The timber building is one of many around town built using a method known as ‘balloon framing', where the walls lack external cladding, and so do not have a cavity that can lead to vermin problems. It's said to be haunted by its former owner and a mysterious young woman.

A dusty collection of the town’s antiques can be seen at the wonderful, privately owned Miners Cottage, which caught a resident ghost on film. Staff here will play a few tunes on the accordion and teach you some gold-panning skills.
