Around the area of Golden Hill it is clearly worked with modern machinery to create rows for the trees. Signs of workings largely eradicated with exceptions. Gravels, quartz, large blocks of ironstone still visible, clearly worthy of more exploration. Golden Hill has not yet been completely planted over or worked with machinery. Google Earth clearly shows the surviving holes, the area around Mullochy Point has been planted but surfaced areas and other mining history is still present. In summary the Bulldog H.A. itself has the surfaced areas with possible gold in the cracks. Between the surfaced areas are original miners holes etc covered with shrubs and immature trees, many with tree guards.. The big tree pictured above is probably the site of the old school and settlement. Located half way between Bulldog Hill and Golden Hill.<img src="https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/9224/1607256058_scrubby.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/9224/1607256073_creek.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
