| In 1873, a gold-panner named Patterson, left the Mac Mac area to search for a place that was less crowded, and found a beautiful valley where he found gold in the river. In 1875 Pilgrim's Rest was declared a public gold digging area and was flooded with fortune hunters from all over the world. |
| They started to erect tin shacks and Pilgrim's Rest was born. A year later, the easy way to get gold on the surface was gone and gold mining started to dig deeper into the earth. Most of the gold-panners left the area and Pilgrim's Rest became a ghost town. The town was declared a national monument and restored to the happy gold rush days. | |  |
