In 1857, the discovery of gold in the Cabbage Tree Creek sparked Mogo's development. Overnight 200 diggers appeared and a new town was born. At its peak, Mogo had several hotels and churches, a host of shops and a public school. The boom did not last long and Mogo dwindled into a sleepy hollow. Now at the height of its revival, Mogo retains an old world atmosphere with new buildings complementing the surviving miners' cottages. Relive the gold rush at Old Mogo Town and at the Goldfields Park. Or enjoy the myriad of galleries, craft shops and fine cafes.
