Eldorado Gold Dredge – Coffee Mug

Description

Whether you’re drinking your morning coffee, evening tea, or something in between—this mug’s for you! It’s sturdy and glossy with a vivid print that’ll withstand the microwave and dishwasher.

The enormous Eldorado Dredge worked for about twenty years from the mid 1930s, excavating huge quantities of the gold and tin bearing river flats on the Eldorado Plain. During this time, the dredge processed around 30 million cubic metres of river bed, obtaining over 70,000 ounces of gold and 1,383 tons of tin concentrate!

This is the largest surviving dredge of its kind in Victoria, and is certainly a sight to behold! Visitors can get an up close look at this incredible machine, boarding via a steel bridge, and there are several brilliant vantage points along the short circuit walk around the dredge hole.
