Bendigo - Hustlers Reef Gold Mining Reserve
Hustlers Reef Gold Mining Reserve has a walking track with information signs where you can learn about the history of one of Bendigo's richest underground mines, The Great Extended Hustlers Mine, and also the site of the town's worst mining accident.
The 1914 mine disaster saw seven miners killed in an explosion 321 metres below the surface.
The reserve has a "Miner Widows Memorial" which is a stone monument with a plaque dedicated to women who lost husbands in the local mining industry.
