I've come across references to this area in most of my research. Google earch searches and old maps only go so far.
Just a few days ago I was driving past and decided to finally stop for a look. If it is dry then any 2wd car should not have a problem accessing the lower portion near the old state school.
Next to the school running down hill is No1 gully and a bit further down is Orville Creek.
Having a new pair of boots that needed to be run in I had no option but to climb up the hill following the track. Lots of dirty quartz, ironstone etc. The ground was shallow and the trees looked like they were struggling.
As you near the top there are deep shafts and open cuts. Be very careful here...
Very easy for kids or pets to come to grief..
