Scene of Australia's worst mining disaster in 1882 when 26 men perished. Water from the old Shaft 1 broke into the newer Shaft 2 workings. The New Australasian Mine worked a deep lead, producing some 90,000 ounces of gold. Mullock heaps still exist at the site of the Number 1 Shaft and the Number 2 Shaft. Small pebbles to large cobbles of quartz can be found, some with crystals in "cavities".
