Features

The Seaham Mine Bushland Reserve is a fascinating patch of bushland where the Seaham Company mine operated with much success from 1869.


There are many large mullock heaps, several dams, and a track which winds through the whole reserve.

This depiction of the Seaham mine was drawn by Australian artist William Taylor Smith Tibbits (1837-1906).

  • Bushwalking is an excellent way to get outdoors and exploring nature.
  • Kids love to climb! There are plenty of places throughout the Goldfields with great trees, rocks, fallen logs and more for kids to climb up, around and over.
  • Gold prospecting is the recreational act of searching for natural gold deposits in the ground using tools such as gold detectors, gold pans and gold sluices. The Goldfields region of Victoria is a popular destination for gold prospectors, with many of the world's largest alluvial gold nuggets found in the area!
