revisiting an old steam engine used to power a local sawmill in the 1880s

sadly since then parts have gone missing someone has taken the wheels and other bits off it and idiots have shot it up as well

an older photo of it before 1970s spot the difference ( not my photo )

Such a shame people have no respect for items of historical significance!

Around 15 years ago a guy from gippsland posted online a location with pics of a very historical and reasonably intact WW2 aircraft that crashed
in the North East of Victoria, within 3 weeks the entire aircraft and site was totally stripped of all the remains.

People are like termites.

yep there was a large 20 head crusher up near lake Eldon that got knocked off in the 1980s the rumour is that they took a truck in there pulled it apart piece by piece and sold it to a buyer in the us for a small fortune. I think sometimes certain relics and mines should never be posted online as it just attracts the wrong people.

Heaps of mining relics were stolen after big fires burnt through the High Country in 2003 i think it was.
A few years later when fires were near Gaffney,s Creek i heard the Police set up a road lock and searched
4WDs for a significant number of stolen items from heritage listed sites.

Termites at it again.
