[QUOTE="loamer, post: 133760, member: 981"] Further: The Boulder mine is situated on Boulder Creek, a tributary of the Errinundra River, which forms the western head of the Bemm. It is near the south-west corner of the Parish of Bungywarr about 1.5 miles west of the Errinundra post office at an elevation of about 1,300 feet above the Errinundra River. The strata exposed in the mine are mostly phyllites which dip in a westerly direction. The mine was first opened about 1898 by Jack Farquhar who carted his ore to Club Terrace. Surface stone is reputed to have yielded up to 6 oz. of gold per ton. Subsequently 3 adits were driven in a northerly direction to develop the formation at a depth. [/QUOTE]
