Join Creswick Connect for a special community celebration marking the official unveiling of the new interpretive signage at the Australasian No. 2 Mine Site.

Together, they'll commemorate the 1882 mining disaster, honour the lives of the 22 miners who lost their lives, and celebrate an important milestone in preserving and sharing Creswick's rich mining heritage.

The morning will feature a commemorative ceremony, guest speakers, community performances, and light refreshments, with opportunities to explore the new interpretive signage, connect with others, and learn more about the site's history and its place within the Buried Rivers of Gold Heritage Trail.

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.
