The first metallic mines to be exploited in Australia. Today it is in a southeastern suburb of Adelaide.
Bull (1884) wrote that following the grant of the land surrounding the deposits in 1838, "I formed one of a small picnic party to the area...On the spurs some whitish quartzy-looking stones were picked up, which showed some small bright specks of galena, not thought much of at the time. In the following year, large projecting blocks of what appeared to be limestone, on being broken on the hillside, were found to be internally pure galena; and now great excitement was caused. Ultimately six or seven distinct veins or lodes were discovered, and some 20 tons of good lead ore were soon raised, which parcel on reaching home (England) was represented to give seventy-five percent of lead with eighteen ounces of silver to the ton."
