The Hidden POISON in Melbourne's Goldfields

Help Support Prospecting Australia:
My parents lived in Braeside Ave, Ringwood near the Civic Centre.
The Civic Centre was reported the site of an old Antinomy mine shaft which by then had been fully rehabilitated and unrecognisable.
I have however panned creeks and other places in the area and found what I believed to be Stibnite (Antinomy sulphide) but never had that confirmed.
This old image (1900) shows the Maroondah highway leading up to the Mt Dandenong road intersection. The poppet head would have been where the Civic Centre is now located.
Ringwood lake would be at the lower right and Daisy's pub would have been in this area also,
I knew it well.
