[Rockhounds] Strike gold: NSW town for sale with jail, blacksmith and creek for panning nuggets

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Whoever bags this South Coast property will be sitting on a gold mine –
literally.

The replica Gold Rush town built atop an abandoned mine shaft from the
1850s is up for sale and includes a creek where visitors can pan for
nuggets, along with historic buildings like a blacksmith and butchery.

Victorian age mining equipment and digging tools are also on site, plus a
bushranger jail, digging tunnel, bush chapel and town drinking hole known
as the Diggers Rest Tavern.

More modern inclusions spread across the 4.5ha property are a giant
“eureka” maze, mini golf and a volleyball area.

The theme park known as the Gold Rush Colony in Mogo, 10km south of
Batemans Bay, is listed with an asking price of $3.4 million, or in gold
terms, the equivalent of about 75 bars of gold at current metal prices.
