Gillespies Beach is a secluded, yet beautiful beach that offers a glimpse into our gold mining past. Gillespies Beach Miners Cemeteryis situated nearby to Meyer Swamp and a short walk from Gillespies Beach.
In 1865, gold was discovered in the area by a miner called Gillespie. His find led to a swarm of prospectors arriving and the small claim soon became a bustling township home to several hundred people.
