Venue

Chewton, VIC

Discover the Garfield Water Wheel's impressive stone foundations, remnants of one of the world's largest water wheels, once powering the Garfield Mine's quartz crushing battery. Constructed in 1887, this 22-meter diameter wheel was a marvel of its time. Explore the Garfield Mine Walk (500m circuit) and Garfield Bush Walk (400m circuit), both featuring gentle hills and interpretive signs. Dogs on leashes are welcome; please take your rubbish home. Access is via an unsealed road suitable for 2WD vehicles or by foot/bike along the Goldfields Track. Nearby, longer self-guided walks lead to sites like the Monster Meeting Site and Pennyweight Flat Cemetery.
