  • Victorian Goldfields Project
    VICTORIAN GOLDFIELDS PROJECT HISTORIC GOLD MINING SITES IN THE SOUTH WEST REGION OF VICTORIA REPORT ON CULTURAL HERITAGE Department Of Natural Resources & Environment August 1999 South-west goldfields 1. Background 1.1 Introduction This report is based on the results of a historical archaeology survey undertaken from 1996 to 1999. The historical research, fieldwork and public consultation undertaken within the study indicated that various parts of the region experienced extensive gold mining from 1851 until the present day. The study area stretches from Creswick in a south westerly direction to Stawell. The majority of the sites investigate date from the late nineteenth century, and the main gold mining site types recorded are associated with shallow alluvial, deep lead, quartz reefing and ore retreatment. 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 constant re-mining that occurred, resulting in the disappearance of earlier sites. 1.2 Site Gazetteer The work underlying the gazetteer involved a desktop survey of recorded sites, analysis of historical records, fieldwork and community consultation. The assessment process used was designed to achieve the best practical results within the project’s time frame and limited budget. Places not previously recorded and which were assessed as likely to have significant heritage values were visited and included in the gazetteer that forms part two of this report. 2. Introduction 2.1 Purpose of report The study seeks to identify, assess and document the cultural heritage values relating to the historic theme of gold mining in South West Victoria.
