Frequently Asked Questions
Up to 50 crossings of the Arrow River ensures the journey to Macetown is a true off-road experience.
You will stop at a suitable place on the river where, before giving you your own gold pan, the driver will demonstrate the techniques used by the early prospectors. Small flakes of gold can still be found.
On the Macetown road we use a Land Rover Defender.
Not a lot of walking is required. Some of it may be on uneven ground but it is not necessary to get out of the vehicle
