MOUNTAIN CREEK BATTERY - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site: The battery would appear to be associated with the small, rich reefs worked at Mountain Creek, about 6 km south-west of Omeo, from the early 1880s. A couple of batteries—Mountain Maid (1884), government battery (1901)—are known to have operated on the field, but were subsequently removed to other locations. The battery now standing at Mountain Creek presumably later served one, or several, of the small mines that operated in the area.Heritage Inventory Description
