On the 26 March, 5 Blue went to the Prophet Gold Mine. We experienced how life is/was on a gold mine in Kilkivan.
We arrived at school at 6:50am and the bus left at 7:30am. It took 2 and a half hours to get to the town. We went the wrong way so we turned around and went into the town. It was very small town. We got out of the town and found the place we were supposed to go. We got out of the bus and we met John and had morning tea. John told us what happened on the gold mine. After that he showed us around his mine. After showing us around we got to pan for gold. After panning, John showed what gold looks like when it is melted down and cooled. We had lunch and then had to say goodbye to the gold mine and head back to school.
I really enjoyed the excursion to the gold mine because i got to pan for gold and learn more about gold. By Liam

The Gold excursion was GREAT. I was excited to pan for some gold and was amazed that everyone that went was able to keep their very own pieces of gold.
