History Hill was established by Malcolm Drinkwater approximately 27 years ago. It was established to enable Malcolm to follow a lifelong passion of preserving Australian Gold Rush History.

The material in their museum and literature they have authored is a result of extensive research, Though there are some differences of opinions in some details the information they have collected is considered to be as accurate as possible. Malcolm Drinkwater quotes "After all we are humans studying humans, if we search our soul knowing the facts (tools and conditions of the time) and say to ourselves "what would I do if I was there", then the truth usually isn't far away."

Malcolm has worked hard in all respects to illuminate the real goldrush story and this is of great importance to our history like a myth will become the figment of someone's imagination and therefore "just another fairy tale".

History Hill portrays the reality of a goldrush with tools and conditions as real as you can get from the 1800s. It is one thing to look at pictures, the real dimension evolves with impact when you get close to the real thing.

We leave you with the questions, have you ever seen an up close photo or video of an elephant? Or have you ever got up close to the real thing? Which do you remember best? Does the photo have texture, smell, attitude, three dimensions, cause an adrenaline rush from being so close? With that in mind...
