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.

Miners Cottage
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.

Venus Gold Battery
The Venus Gold Battery stopped crushing gold in 1973, and it’s the oldest preserved battery in Australia. Imagination rules during the tour thanks to holograms on a water screen.
