In the nineteenth century, this area was alive with gold prospectors, camping and working. In the surrounding bush you will notice small holes and depressions, old house footings, dam walls, and other remains of this community of gold miners. You will notice there are few trees with large trunks, most of this bushland is regrowth forest. The area was cleared by the early settlers, with timber being used for houses, heating and underground pit props.
