EL DORADO GOLD DREDGE (BEECHWORTH, VICTORIA)

“The dredge has remained in its final mooring place at Eldorado 20km west of Beechworth since 1954. It was tied up here after operating for 18 years and winning 70,664 ounces of gold and 1,383 tons of tin concentrate from the rich alluvial plain of Reedy Creek. An easy 15 minute walk around the pond tells you about the dredge, its operation and the environment.”
