This week we are lucky enough to have four visits over four days from Goldfields Primary School to the museum. They are visiting to learn all about the gold rush of the 1860s. The activities the students undertook included exploring the Chinese village; going back in time in Miss Grey's classroom and viewing the GOLD 150 exhibition and the museum displays.
