We stopped here whilst visiting some mine sites in the area on business. They hold some wonderful photos of Mount Morgan in the gold rush days along with some very interesting articles. I am presuming it is manned by volunteers so I am thankful to them for keeping the historical mining industry alive. The only downside was when asking them for directions they only seemed to know the main tourist spots and couldn’t help. If you are wanting to know more about Mount Morgan they have a very interesting book on the area.

The dam is really low and in drought conditions but a little shower of rain before we arrived in Mt Morgan had greened up the surrounds. It's a lovely spot, shady, clean, lots of spots to sit, we took breakfast there a couple of mornings and walked our dog in peaceful settings around the dam. Lots of bike riders and people strolling around. When this dam is full it would be a spectacular place to visit. :-)

If you are wanting a view of Mount Morgan and to get an idea of scale then you have to stop at the lookout. Unfortunately the mine is no longer accessible to the public so the lookout is the only vantage point to admire the historical ruins of what were once the largest goldmine in the world.

Chill out at the No. 7 Dam (otherwise known as The Big Dam). With its picturesque natural views, the dam offers a tranquil place for a get together. Enjoy a picnic, use the free barbecues and let the kids run wild in the high shaded playground. The dam also provides some unique fishing opportunities with red claw and kayak fishing.
