BERRY DEEP LEAD GOLD MINE (CRESWICK, VICTORIA)

“Between 1872 and 1900, more than 30 companies worked Victoria”s richest deep alluvial gold lead system which runs between Creswick and Smeaton to the north. They produced about 1.7 million oz of gold and have left a distinctive landscape of large mullock dumps. Two Cornish enginehouses used to pump water from the workings can be seen from the road about 3km west of Smeaton.”
