ACTIVITIES ECHUNGA

A historical walking trail through the remains of the Jupiter Creek gold diggings. Bushwalkers can visit the old diggings at Chapel Hill and follow the sign-posted path to find some of these relics then on to Jupiter Creek to follow the heritage trail which has signposts and information boards describing successive phases of mining at the site. It includes the 1869 chimney associated with the Beatrice Gold Mining Company, 1906 sluicing dam and the 1930 New Phoenix Tunnel. The diggings are a part of the Kuitpo Forest conservation park and registered as State Heritage Items so they'll be preserved for future generations.

Set on gently undulating land, Echunga Golf Course covers 5,403 metres of well watered fairways in a uniquely Australian setting among large gum trees. 18 greens compliment the par 70 course that will suit the average golfer while providing a challenge to the more experienced. The course is available for play every day with an honesty box available when the Clubhouse is closed. Members of other clubs with recognised handicaps would be welcome to join in club competitions on Thursday or Saturday mornings or Wednesday evening twilight golf, which is nine holes between 4pm and 6pm during Daylight Saving time.
