Founded in 2005, the Droving Heritage Museum preserves Australia's pioneering history through its droving displays, recorded interviews with former drovers, and memorabilia donated by families. It forms the centrepiece of The Drovers Camp, a volunteer run organisation established in 1997 to honour, protect, and share the region's cultural heritage. The Drovers Camp is the primary tourist attraction on the Barkly Highway, drawing thousands of travellers into Camooweal each year. By encouraging visitors to stop, tour the museum, and engage with local stories, it directly supports nearby businesses through increased spending on meals, fuel, accommodation, and services—providing vital economic activity in a remote community with limited commercial opportunities. Beyond tourism, The Drovers Camp delivers social, cultural, and educational value. Volunteers provide guided tours, heritage demonstrations, school programs, and community events that strengthen local identity and intergenerational connection. The site also serves as a gathering place for residents, station families, and travellers, fostering community cohesion across a wide geographic area. Through its museum, programs, and dedicated volunteer workforce, The Drovers Camp safeguards regional heritage, stimulates local economic activity, and enriches community life for current and future generations.

Set on 300 acres of gently rolling sand dunes in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula “Cups” region, The Dunes captures the essence of true links golf. The Championship 18 hole course reflects the highest standards of course maintenance and customer service, matched only by the very best private clubs. The success and popularity of The Dunes is a direct reflection of the course layout. Designed by Tony Cashmore, the tournament course is 6,459 metres and achieves the very difficult objective of being a challenge to the low marker without being a monster for the higher handicapped golfer. The Cups Course is a links layout set in rolling dunes and clearly rates amongst the best standalone 9 hole courses in Australia with several magnificent par 3’s and par 4’s. As the little sister to the main course they absolutely love it! Its got the same links feel but is a lot more forgiving. The Cups features top quality course design and presentation but the rough is cut down, the bunkers more shallow and the holes shorter. A super fun golf course that is perfect for families and friends! To see hole by hole videos of ‘The Cups’ course, scroll down the page.

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations
Although Eldorado's main gold extraction was through open-cut methods, the gold discovered in the river flats wasn’t as easily accessible as gold found further up Reedy Creek. In 1936 production of Cock’s large bucket dredge began, mining alluvial gold and tin until 1954. It was one of the largest dredges in the Southern Hemisphere – a floating monster weighing 2,142 tons and pulling the third most power from the State Electricity Grid after Melbourne and Geelong. In its 18 years of operation, the dredge produced 70,664 ounces of gold and 1,383 tons of tin concentrate. By the time the dredge was decommissioned it had dredged 30,000,000 cubic metres from the river flats of El Dorado Plain. It remains a formidable sight and graphically illustrates the extent of the mining operation in and around the town. You can visit the dredge in its final resting place, located on the outskirts of the town on the El Dorado-Byawatha Road.
