mine by an 11 km
water race, including several timber flumes over creeks and gullies the reinforced concrete slab and buttress dam at 250 m long and up to 16 m high is the oldest, probably the biggest and one of very few of its kind in Australia These days. The dam wall is now a ruin and there is no
water enabling visitors to investigate walking through the concrete buttresses into what was once the dam there is also a beautiful
creek flowing with waterfall and surrounded by ferns and rocky areas to enjoy.
