    NORTH WEST VICTORIA HISTORIC MINING PLOTS (DUNOLLY, HEATHCOTE, MALDON AND RUSHWORTH) 1850-1980 Historic Notes David Bannear Heritage Victoria CONTENTS: Dunolly 3 Heathcote 48 Maldon 177 Rushworth 268 DUNOLLY GENERAL HISTORY PHASE ONE 1853/55: The Moliagul Police Camp had been down at the bottom end of Commissioners Gully near Burnt Creek from January 1853 until June 1855. This camp included a Sub Inspector, two Sergeants, a Corporal, six mounted and twelve-foot Constables, a Postmaster, Clerk and Tent Keeper. For a while this was the headquarters for the entire Mining District. 1 1853 Moliagul: Opened in 1853 along with Surface Gully. Their richness influenced the moving of the settlement from Commissioners Gully to where the township is now. 2 1853: Burnt Creek, the creek itself, was so-called before gold digging started, but Burnt Creek goldfield, situated about two miles south of Dunolly, started with the discovery of gold early in 1853, and at a rush later that year ... Between August and October 1853 the Commissioners’ Camp at Jones Creek was shifted to Burnt Creek, where there had been a rush ... By April 1854 there had been an increase in population at Burnt Creek, and there were 400 diggers there in July. Digging was going on in Quaker’s Gully and two large nuggets were found there in 1854, by October there were 900 on the rush, and the Bet Bet reef was discovered. By November 1854 the gold workings extended three miles from Bet Bet to Burnt Creek and a Commissioners’ Camp was started at Bet Bet, near where Grant’s hotel was later.

    NORTH WEST VICTORIA HISTORIC MINING PLOTS 1848-1976 Historic Notes David Bannear Heritage Victoria CONTENTS: Amherst Division 3 Bendigo 23 Korong 212 Amherst Mining Division AMHERST DIVISION - GENERAL 1848: The original discovery of gold at Amherst or Daisy Hill occurred late in 1848. The discovery, by a shepherd Thomas Chapman, on the sheep run of McNeill and Hall, Glen Mona, caused the first gold rush in Victoria.[Flett, 1979, p254] 1851: Dr. Herman Bruhn, the well-known prospector, found gold in the area (Amherst) in 1851, but the first real discovery took place in about May 1852, when a party of Germans, going overland from Adelaide to Bendigo, got gold near the later site of Amherst Cemetery, close to Daisy Hill, where Chapman got his gold in 1848. [Flett, 1979, p254] 1852: The first important rush to Daisy Hill started, following the discovery of gold in Blacksmith’s Gully in December 1852. The locality was a bout a mile east of the later town, and was known as Cowley’s Rush. [Flett, 1979, p254] 1853: Gold was going discovered in March 1853 at Kangaroo Gully and Grecian Gully was opened in May. There was about 1000 diggers on the field [Flett, 1979, p254]. 1854: The first discovery of gold at Talbot, about three miles south-east of Daisy Hill, and then known as Back Creek, took place at Kangaroo Flat, on the Back Creek and about two miles south-west of Talbot, early in 1854. The workings there, until August, were confined to a small lead on the flat, but towards the end of 1854 gold was discovered at Ballarat Hill, and amidst considerable activity, built up to a ‘Goodwoman’s Rush’ in March 1855 [Flett, 1979, p254-255].
