Established 1859, the Bendigo Gasworks were closed in 1973 when natural gas arrived in town, ending coal-gas operations.

Uniquely, the plant is maintained in working order, awaiting the day when the site is developed to allow visitors to explore coal gasification and the provision of power and light in the early industrial age.

Tours for large groups can be arranged by calling Central Deborah Gold Mine on (03) 5443 8322.
