Geraldine old lead mine townsite near Murchison River

Hi Terry,

Sorry can't hep you with your answer, however that lead deposit was noticed a long time ago.

Here is an extract of AC Gregory's exploration map which describes it as a "Vein of Lead" from 1848.

The Chimney is actually a fair distance from the old lead mine and townsite, I do have a GPS location somewhere which I can look up for you.

If you turn left (as you are heading north) onto a track just opposite the sign which points to the overnight stop at Galena Bridge and work your way down it for around 1 to 1.5 Klms you will find all the old ruins. The track can be rather scratchy at times dependant on whether there has been bushfires through or not. There isn't too much left but it isn't hard to see where buildings would have been. If you hunt around you will find heaps of pieces of old china dinnerware and the likes along with many other relics. Just remember that they should all be left where found for someone else to enjoy.

Cheers
