Rothsay Ghost Town
77 kilometres east of Perenjori is the ghost town of Rothsay. Gold was discovered here in 1894 and within a year all the leases had been pegged.
In its heyday, Rothsay had a population of 500, the town experienced a second lease of life during the 1930s when a company financed by the flamboyant mining entrepreneur, Claude de Bernales, re-opened the mine in 1932.
Today, old buildings such as the original mine manager's house and the 'Strong
Room', and the derelict shaft are reminders of the 1890s gold fever.
