Omeo - Ah Fong's Loop Walk
In its day, the Oriental Claims was one of the largest gold-sluicing operations in the world. Today many of the mining remnants, caves and mining sites can be viewed along the short walks around the heritage listed Claims. This leisurely walk takes you to the site originally worked by Ah Fong in 1875, one of the richest and most extensive sites within the Oriental Claims. This historic area is also excellent for viewing birds, orchids and wild flowers.
