  • MARYBOROUGH) 1850-1980 Historic Notes
    NORTH WEST VICTORIA HISTORIC MINING PLOTS (MARYBOROUGH) 1850-1980 Historic Notes David Bannear Heritage Victoria MARYBOROUGH HISTORICAL NOTES (1) 1899: Maryborough gives its name to the largest of the Victorian mining districts. The only part of the Maryborough mining district, which has proved to be auriferous, is its southern portion. All the large mallee countries of Weeah, Tatchera, Karkarooc, and Mellewa, which are also included within its boundaries are, so far as is known, absolutely non-auriferous, although as these large plains are generally held to be the floor of an ancient sea it is possible that borings may yet prove the existence of alluvial deposits at certain depths. Gold-bearing wash has been found in the rich agricultural land about Swanwater, and loaming and trenching in the early days about Mount Jeffcott have shown the existence of gold in these districts approaching the mallee. There is no doubt that the long range of the Pyrenees, with its branching spurs more or less intersected with reefs, runs out in many lines into these widely extending plains. MARYBOROUGH PROPER. A Great Alluvial Field: As Bendigo furnishes the best illustration of a great reefing field, so Maryborough stands foremost as a great alluvial field. Of deep alluvial leads it may be said that they conform roughly to the course of the rivers of today, and were without a doubt the ancient waterways. As the rivers took their course through the valleys they acted like giant sluices, and where they passed through the auriferous gravels, concentrated the gold, bearing off the lighter material once more, to eventually form the great tertiary plains which are so conspicuous a feature of the northern area of the colony.
