[QUOTE="user 22230, post: 652541, member: 22230"] Wal indeed yes, many school mates had land passed down or are now land owners themselves in the area. In the day Castlemaine was where all kids from Taradale, Elephinstone, Maldon, Guildford, Campbells Creek, Showell's Hill, Chewton, Fryerstown, Harcourt and everything in between went to school. Has certainly changed since those days but a lot of land that no one has been over simply because the gates are shut. Actually funny what the memory brings back, many will probably remember the Faraday School Siege ? Most of the kids involved were the younger siblings of class mates. The shafts from the Wattle Gully mine used to run under my house in Wesley Hill. Story always was that more gold was pinched from Wattle Gully than what was processed :rolleyes: But surely that's just a myth 🤔:D😂 [/QUOTE]
