GARFIELD WATER WHEEL (CHEWTON, VICTORIA)

“The remains of the Garfield Water Wheel stone abutments stand in the bush just north of Chewton. The 24m diameter wheel was erected in 1887 and drove a 23 head quartz stamp battery until 1904, when steam took over. A walking trail explains the links between the mine, the stamping battery and the water wheel.”
