..." History Hill provides a realistic impression of 19th Century goldfield life, supported by authentic buildings, machinery and an underground mine with activities designed to stimulate student education. Researched well by people with practical experience who care about education."

Carole McDiarmid, Superintendent, Bathurst District,
N.S.W. Department of Education.

"As a history teacher of 29 years, I have been taking excursions to Hill End for 13 years. Our school has followed the Drinkwater's to their present site and over 3 years watched it develop at an unbelievable rate. the batteries, steam engines, mine and museum need to be seen to be believed. With their new dining room I am confident to recommend this facility as a "must see" for the conscientious who want education for their students excursion."

.."I have been taking school groups to Hill End since 1973. The Drinkwaters have an encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of the history of Hill End and surrounding goldfields. Their willingness and skill in disseminating this knowledge make the 'Drinkwater Experience' one which every school child in N.S.W. should encounter. All students, who have this experience, benefit both educationally and socially, and enjoy an experience which most of them will never forget."
