About Gold
Tennant Creek’s gold rush of the 1930s was the last in Australia’s history and was at one time the third largest gold producer in the country. Visitors to Tennant Creek today can take a tour through an underground mine where various historic mining techniques and devices are on display and in some cases demonstrated. If you want a hands on experience, head to the Moonlight Rockhole along Warrego Road, where you can fossick for gold yourself. You will need a permit to do this!
