The Grand Duke Mine in Timor, Victoria, stands as a testament to the gold rush era. From 1869 to 1896, it produced approximately 216,000 ounces of gold. The site features a massive granite arch, the remnants of a Cornish pumping engine house, which once housed a 30-ton iron beam imported from England to manage groundwater. This pump was the largest in Australia at the time, capable of removing 2,000 gallons of water per minute. Visitors can explore the area, view historical information signs, and enjoy a picnic at the site.
