About Cracow

Cracow is a town steeped in history. Once a prosperous gold mining town, Cracow is a part of the Banana Shire Council. Gold was discovered in 1850, with the Golden Plateau N.L. Company operating the mine from 1936 to 1976. After the mine closed Cracow was promoted as a 'ghost town' but has recently been given a new lease on life with the reopening of the gold mine in 2003. Cracow offers an authentic, laid back Aussie lifestyle with strong emphasis on community and family values.
