Eldorado, or El Dorado, is a small town in the north-east of Victoria, Australia.

The Gold Dredge walk is a facinating walk around the lake that the dredge has remained moored in since 1954.

The lake is on the east side of town, 100 metres along Byawartha Road. There are seats and tables set up for tourists, plus there is an excellent brochure available at the tourist information board in the car park at the Dredge.

The brochure walks you round the track to various locations and vantage points, and explains the workings of the dredge and explains what you can see rom each point.

The walk is easily done in 15 minutes.
Description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The remains of an old gold dredge can still be seen today. This is a large steel dredge which was designed and built by Thompson's Engineering for the Cocks Eldorado Gold Dredging Company in 1935-36.
By the time it was decommissioned it had dredged 30 million cubic metres from the river flats of the Eldorado Plain. It has 110 digging buckets, each of which was capable of digging and lifting 0.3 m³  of soil.
