Macraes Mine 35th Anniversary Open Day
A rare opportunity to explore part of Macraes Mine, climb onto a haul truck, discover gold in rock samples and learn all about modern gold mining.
Join us at Macraes Mine this March to celebrate 35 years since our first gold pour
The Macraes Community Open Day will be a unique opportunity for you to tour our mine. For the first time in over five years, we’ll take the public into our open pit to see our fleet of haul trucks and diggers in action. Our bus tours will also take you around our processing plant, where you’ll learn how we crush ore and separate the gold.
In the Macraes Village, our community celebration carnival will bring our underground mine to the surface. This is where you will be able to get up close to an underground bogger, sit inside a refuge chamber, and study ore samples for signs of visible gold.
Date: Saturday 22 March 2025
Time: Gates open 9am – 3.00pm
Location: Macraes Oval, 16 Hyde Street Macraes 9483
Sorry, no pets allowed at this event.
