MONTEITHS HERITAGE TRAIL - TASTING THE CHARACTER OF THE COAST
 

Experience the way 'Coasters view the world! Start the afternoon with a Monteith's Brewery Tour, and then let us take the wheel as we follow the old trail of thirsty miners up the Grey Valley.

Visit the Brunner Mine Site and hear the history of this tragic site. Call in to Blackball's renowned 'Hilton' Hotel and Salami Company, and sample the local brews at a typical West Coast pub. Hear the stories of the miners while you 'lay the dust' with a 'pony' of your favourite Monteiths.

Have fun, have a few beers (only if you want to!), meet the local 'Coasters and enjoy a very relaxing time out. And no worries about driving - we'll take good care of that!

'More gold was mined in the pub than anywhere else!'
- an old miner's reminiscence.
