Be fed, then have the option to explore historic goldrush buildings, a mine site, cemetery, or (if enough people book) hunt out rare wildflowers in hidden bush nooks. 

Tours not your thing?

Don’t worry, for that’s not all you’ll find.  Dig through the numerous stories, photos & memorabilia from families who once tried to strike-it-rich in the Steiglitz goldfield.  Or just need a break from the frantic life of town?  Then you’re welcome to simply sit with us amidst the gums, roos & kookaburras, while eating delicious country cooking.  Food which tastes even better when you know the BtS pours 100% of the day’s proceeds into the repair & maintenance of all historic public buildings. 

Be quick. We’ve decided to keep our groups small & intimate, meaning places in each tour are limited.

The Back to Steiglitz Association Inc. is a local group of volunteers who continue the tradition of the reunion in this historic gold mining town in Victoria to assist in the restoration and maintenance of the historic buildings and surrounds.

The Back to Steiglitz Festival and Airing of the Quilts events in particular help support local projects.  Our latest, and possibly biggest, project is saving the Steiglitz State School 

Steiglitz is an old gold mining town located in the Brisbane Ranges National Park about an hours drive west of Melbourne. It is part of the Steiglitz Historic Park including Crown land in and around the township.

Today the township is like a glimpse of the past as it is isolated from the modern world with no mains power or water,  no mobile phone coverage in parts and gravel roads.
