Gold Panning
Rent a pan and try your hand at gold panning on Cunard's Beach. Gold fever has always been an epidemic at the Ovens Natural Park!
If you are interested in the 1861 Gold Rush at the Ovens Park, visit our little museum, full of pictures, tools and memorabilia from the 1861 Gold Rush.
There is something about the lure of undiscovered gold that brings out the adventurer in all of us. While you are panning, you may find yourself side-by-side with other skilled gold panners, who may enjoy sharing their knowledge. The gold panning takes place on our historic Cunard's Beach.
