[QUOTE="oldtimerROB, post: 366955, member: 8947"] I found a hospital rubbish dump behind Nuggetty Gully off Fryers Road,Campbells Creek,where I once lived.It was in a large surfaced area behind my house.There were lots of very old small glass bottles which still stink to high heaven today.It may have been dumped there during the gold rush. The original gold assayers office and weatherboard cottage is still on the road next to the gully,but the only hospital has always been in Castlemaine.The smell will never go away and they should have been buried by the hospital which dumped them there.Maybe used for amputating limbs.Did not see any leg bones there thankfully. A family built a house on Crown Land there back in the 1930,s and used to sluice the gully with water collected in a dam up the slope.An old timer and his son lived in an old caravan in the 1980,s and used to grow vegetables and barter with people.He lived till 90 due to the healthy lifestyle and pristine surroundings under the tall grey gums.
