CRIBBATE CREEK ALLUVIAL WORKINGS - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site:
Cribbage Creek was rushed - with Sassafras and Saltpetre creeks - in 1868. There was another, larger influx to the area in 1878-9. Sluicing was carried on at Cribbage Creek throughout the 'eighties (and possibly into the 20thC) by just a handful of men, using sluice boxes and small waterwheels to drain their claims.Heritage Inventory Description
