who can identify this spot ?

[HeadsUp]

Lets call it " the land of a thousand mullock heaps " until someone identifies it ( should take all of 5 minutes )

just a couple of snaps for anyone who didnt see an old mining area from the goldrush days

i saw at least a dozen shafts and drives into the hills here , some uncovered shafts dropped down at least 20 metres :/

It's just before the Turon crossing on the bridal track below hill end NSW ,pretty much opposite the covered picnic table & toilet block.
A beautiful spot!!

" extensively worked "

Golden Gully,

Golden Gully,

yes sir

golden gully , Hill End

sit quietly there and you can almost feel the cheerful chatter of gleeful miners , the clatter of picks and tin pans , intermingled with the odd scream from cave ins and crushed bodies

amazing history in that place

looks bigger than gods underpants Ag Man

is that at least 8 shafts or drives in that shot ?

how many thousand ounces came out of there ?

Is that warandyte ?

 

[Ag Man]

I haven't been here as yet. It's a photo I got from a mate who took the pics.
There's a 12 head Battery near by as well.
Haven't found info on how rich it was but bu looking at the risky place it is, the amount of tunnels (3/4 of the way up the wall)& shafts, I recon they must have got a significant amount...

 

[Ag Man]

Is that warandyte ?

Nope

 

[Teemore]

Massive operation by the looks of it ....... Few km south of Castlemaine?
Then again can't say I've seen the remnants in such good condition up that way.

Is it Balaclava Hill mine at Whroo?

on a side note - that's a smack to the head. I saw one of these when I was growing up in central QLD on a property. No one gave a toss but damned - now I have to track down the old man and ask him where we were as I know its not far from here (maybe 30mins west) and its in a remote property / creekbed area. How the memory jolts to life when you see a pic. amazing.

Oh and to guess the others NFI sorry. Some where south of Queensland I assume

This pic is definitely on the Turon,NSW .I along with hundreds of others have had a swing here,especially along the creek which is on the left & just level with the top of the stamper.

Beechworth - Ovens? (this is a good post by the way)

 

[Ag Man]

Beechworth - Ovens? (this is a good post by the way)

Bingo!
The Wallaby mine "Glory Hole" & battery (Beechworth/Yackandandah)

 

[loamer]

Where is this and what is it? Hint: Close to Chewton. Now and as was. Has a funny name if you have a small filthy mind like mine.

 

[Teemore]

Could it be at Willy Gully? Near Spring Gully Mines.

 

[GoldStreak]

It's the old red knob!
It used to be a riverbed at the top of that hill!!

Cheers, Paul.
