Oriental Claims

Local favourite 1.7 km SW of Omeo

Walk through 30-metre cliffs carved by one of the world’s biggest gold-sluicing operations.

For more than 50 years, miners blasted the hillsides along Livingstone Creek with high-pressure water to wash out the gold, leaving behind dramatic sculpted cliffs.

Short loop walks, including Ah Fong’s Loop and the Pioneer Claim Loop (about 45 minutes each), tell the stories of the Chinese and European miners who worked here.

Good to know Toilets and picnic tables at the start — bring lunch.
