[QUOTE="magneticsand, post: 627402, member: 3455"] Ive been up there, to that exact spot. You are looking at two derelict water tanks, on a steep creekbank, and a farm behind a stock fence. On the other side there is actually a mine, its completely flooded. They dug on a decline, right next to the creek, and had to pump constantly. All there is to see there is a tin shed the size of a outhouse/toilet, and mud. I've also been up there when its dry, just mud. On the tank side there is some rubbish, old and new, a few hoses. Apparently it was ok for panning and sluicing back in the day, ive tried a few times, failed. [url]https://books.google.com.au/books/about/Peppercorn_Gold.html?id=7LEaAAAACAAJ&redir_esc=y[/url] I'll save you trying to find a copy. They failed. It flooded and it was a nice area to swim and picnic before the dams upstream and the loss of access in general. [/QUOTE]
