Creek gully worked for alluvial gold. Discovered in 1872 and alluvium was worked from 6ft to 14ft. Most of the gold was fine, though a 4 ounce nugget was found. The Inspector of Mines reported asbestos in 1892 occurring in small veins dipping east. This was presumably chrysotile though not certain as tremolite also occurs in the area and could have been asbestiform. Felted asbestos (mountain cork) was found on the surface. The SA Museum also has specimens of bismutite and elbaite tourmaline labeled Sailors Gully.
