EMMAVILLE Tourism

National Parks

Local councils do have some information about communities located within their boundaries. You can access this information through the Local Council site through the link found on Local Information Section of this site.

Emmaville began as a private township known as Vegetable Creek. In 1872 tin was discovered here, causing a population explosion. In fact, the hospital still bears the original name.

Visitors to the village can explore the history of mining in the district by visiting the rather comprehensive mining museum located in the village. A full photograph of the museum can be seen in the photo gallery.
The Mining Museum features the following:

• The Curnow Mineral Collection of national renown.
• Other collections such as the Gilby, Jillet and Maskey collections.
• A large collection of photographs of mines and miners as well as of Emmaville and the local community.

Fossicking is certainly a very popular attraction to Emmavile these days, as well as to the nearby village of Torrington.

Around the 1960's and 1970's, Emmaville attracted a lot of interest with the story of The Emmaville Panther.
