Historic-Gold-Mining-Sites-In-The-St
VICTORIAN GOLDFIELDS PROJECT HISTORIC GOLD MINING SITES IN ST ANDREWS MINING DIVISION DRAFT 8/7/99 CULTURAL HERITAGE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES & ENVIRONMENT JUNE 1999 1 1. Background 1.1 Introduction This report is based on the results of historical archaeology surveys undertaken from 1996 to 1999. The research, fieldwork and consultation undertaken during this time indicate that the study area experienced intermittent and relatively small-scale gold mining from the early 1850s. The study area contains the various goldfields and mining centres that once formed the historic mining administrative region known as the St Andrews Mining Division. The main goldfields and their key mining locations are: • Warrandyte Goldfield ¾ Anderson’s Creek and No.1to No.4 Hills. • Caledonia Goldfield¾Queenstown (now known as St Andrews), One Tree Hill, Kingston (now known as Pantons Hill), Kangaroo Grounds, You You Hill, Kingstown, South Morang, Arthur’s Creek, Nillumbik (now known as Diamond Creek), Steele’s Creek, Yarrambet and Kinglake. • Upper Yarra Goldfield¾ Warburton, Britannia, Yankee Jims, Big Pats, Hoddle’s, McMahons Creek, and Wombat creeks. • Mornington Peninsula Goldfield¾ Tubbarrubba, Tyabb, Mt Martha, and Frankston. • Dandenong Goldfield¾ Emerald, Nicholson, Berwick, and Gembrook. The study area is centred on Warrandyte (Victoria’s first official gold discovery location) and stretches northeast from the Mornington Peninsula to the upper reaches of the Yarra River. The majority of the sites investigate date from the late nineteenth century, and the main site types recorded are associated with re-working shallow alluvial ground and quartz reefing. The recent age of surviving mining relics is a reflection of the temporary and basic nature of the early gold rush activities undertaken and the re-mining that occurred, resulting in the disappearance of earlier sites. -
