The Gympie Gold Mining and Historical Museum is operated by the Gympie & District Historical Society Inc, a wholly volunteer operated organisation, with the Museum development and operation the most significant of its objectives. The Society was formed in 1965 to establish the Museum on the site of the former No 2 South Great Eastern Mine which was the second richest mine on the Gympie Goldfields. Some of the original stamper battery remains on site and the original mine water tank was converted into the first Museum building and officially opened in 1971.Date20 January 1973Image NoT1002926
