Information

Government Works: self guided walk, 250 m return. This area containing Aritunga's richest collection of historic buildings and associated sites for the visitor to discover. Pick up a brochure from the pamphlet box at the carpark and explore the site of the Government Battery and Cyanide Works, which once processed the quartz ore of the area to find the elusive gold. Walk through the Manager's and Assayer's Residence and compare the government officials accommodation to that of the miners which can be seen elsewhere in the Reserve. Also stroll about the remains of the Post Office, Blacksmith Shop, Gold Room and offices. You can also enjoy a short walk to the Police Station of 1.5 km (20 - 30 minutes). A walk information sheet is available from the carpark.
