School excursions

Students will learn how the discovery of gold has shaped Western Australia from the earliest days and continues to be an important part of the State’s modern economy.

Through our heritage-listed premises we take students on a journey from those early glory days of gold discovery through to the modern day. Opening in 1899 to refine and mint coins, our history has gold at its heart.

Experience gold like never before, with access to gold bars, nuggets, coins, jewellery and even in its raw form.

Our dazzling exhibitions and live demonstrations will enhance student’s understanding of our State’s history, the gold mining industry, precious metal coining and Australian currency.
