Beneath the historic site of the Eureka Rebellion, time has buried an ancient gold-bearing river named the Eureka Lead.

To mark the anniversary of the Eureka Stockade, join Lauren Powell on a walking tour along the trail of the Eureka Lead. Lauren will unearth the significant social and political impacts of the Victorian gold rush, as you discover how this alluvial lead has shaped the course of history.

The 45-minute tour will leave precisely at the advertised start time. Sensible footwear and appropriate clothing are advised.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
