A lot of alluvial activity in the 1800s happened further down the Boyne Valley towards the dam near Boynedale. There is still an active mine out the back of Nagoorin. If you are into just having a look there are still a lot of relics from the old mines in the area, well worth a look by going up...

Is anyone heading up to Minerama at Glenn Innes from 6-9th March? I am thinking of heading up on Monday and stopping at Uralla for a day or two to see if I can get some Rocky River gold before heading to Glenn Innes and doing the field trips on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I may have a spare...
