The world’s only pure yellow mineral: ‘Gold’ is synonymous with Bendigo, which has a history of being one of the richest producers of gold in the world. Bendigo is famous for the discovery of alluvial gold in 1851 on the Ravenswood Sheep Run.   Late last century, an English lord became penniless when his roguish elder brother gambled away the family fortune and then he took to the high seas as a pirate.  He became obsessed with finding the reef. The only person who believed him was Deborah.  One day he failed to return to the surface.  Legend has it that Deborah disappeared into the mine to look for him and to this day has protected the mine and all those who enter it. The ‘Mine Experience Tour’ is wheelchair accessible.
