The name of the small town Hedley goes back to the former tent camp that was built here at the time of the prospectors. It served as a base camp for the gold mines around Nickel Plate Mountain. In total, there were three mines here that were active between 1900 and 1996. If you stand in the center of Hedley, you can still see relics of the mining operations high above you. A walk along the old buildings, some of which are still in good condition, is worthwhile.
