I’m worth over $11 million - It is worth doing the tour. I booked ahead on Viator. Just like Sovereign Hill, it has a gold pour and those scales that measure your weight in gold. I’m increasing in value. You can mint your own coin and if one is not enough you can buy extras for $2 each. You can also dress up in heat protective clothing, there’s a little dress up station just outside the building.

Recommended visit - Great experience, very informative, friendly, helpful staff. Particularly enjoyed the gold smelting demonstration. Managed to get a unique wedding gift for my son and daughter in law, a Perth mint silver coin, customised for their names and date of marriage, set in a gift box, something to cherish. Well worth a visit.
