The dredge is sitting the last pond it dug for itself. Visitors can walk around the perimeter of the pond and view the dredge from all sides.
Small interpretive panels are located at viewing points around the edge of the pond, although some are unreadable.
A steel walkway gives the public free (and safe) access to the control room of the dredge, allowing visitors to look down onto the dredge buckets at the eastern end of the dredge, and onto some of the equipment inside the dredge.
During its working life the dredge treated thirty million cubic metres of creek bed, winning 70.664 ounces of gold and 1,475 tonnes of tin.
