[QUOTE="dryhorrors, post: 53021, member: 1937"] was doing some research and found this on nt gov mineral site sorry for the crazy amount of text but i only chose a snippet of the 135 page report In the Pine Creek Orogen, FH Litchfield made the first discovery of gold in 1865 in the Finniss River area (Jones 1987). Shortly after, in 1868, specks of gold were found at Tumbling Waters. These early finds did not have immediate economic benefits. It was the discovery in 1870 of coarse gold near Yam Creek that resulted in the first gold rush and discoveries at Pine Creek, Union Reefs, Cosmo Howley, Mount Todd, Fountain Head, Zapopan, Spring Hill, Brocks Creek and Woolwonga. Production from these deposits commenced soon afterwards and continued until 1915, this will be a interesting holiday i think :D [/QUOTE]
