Timeline

  1. 18:45

    The Sweet Place

    Pick up a box of traditional English lollies or local honey from The Sweet Place. It is a short walk from the museum and perfect for a quick grab before the light fades.

  2. 19:15

    McCrossin's Mill Museum

    Head to McCrossin's Mill Museum. Explore the exhibits on Captain Thunderbolt and the gold rush while there is still plenty of daylight to read the displays clearly. The museum is open until 17:00, so arrive early enough to browse before it closes for the evening.

  3. 19:40

    Mount Mutton Walking Trail and Alma Park

    Walk seven minutes north to Mount Mutton Walking Trail and Alma Park. Find a spot among the trees planted by school children in the 1880s. This is the perfect vantage point to watch the sun set toward the WSW.

  4. 20:15

    Coachwood and Cedar Hotel Motel

    End the evening at the Coachwood and Cedar Hotel Motel. Grab a drink at the pub to settle in after the walk. It is open late, giving you time to relax as the town goes quiet.

Local tip

The museum closes at 17:00, so plan your visit to ensure you have time inside before heading to the park for sunset.
